Dolphins GM: Not tanking in '19, despite rebuild
INDIANAPOLIS -- Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier wanted to clear the air Wednesday, saying to not expect any tanking from his team in 2019.
Owner Stephen Ross raised some eyebrows during a Dec. 31 news conference, saying fired head coach Adam Gase "wanted to win and win now" and that the Dolphins were taking a different approach -- one that included a rebuild -- to escape mediocrity.
"If it takes a year or so, two years, three years, we're going to be there," Ross said at the time.
He clarified that a bit when Brian Flores was introduced as the team's new head coach, and Grier did again Wednesday with a more definite response.
