Stephen Ross is entering uncharted territory as Dolphins owner
Pittsburgh Steelers v Miami Dolphins | Megan Briggs/GettyImagesStephen Ross has been the majority owner of the Miami Dolphins since 2009, and for the first time since becoming an owner, he has a decision to make that he has never had before.
Last week, the Dolphins' owner made a decision that fans have been waiting for. He and Chris Grier "mutually" parted ways. Now, he has to find a new general manager.
The last time Ross went through a real GM search, he settled on Dennis Hickey after other candidates dropped out. Hickey didn't last long, and in 2016, Grier was hired after a relatively soft search by Ross, Mike Tannenbaum, and the other Dolphins executives.
