Miami Dolphins fire coach Brian Flores after three seasons; GM Chris Grier to remain

MIAMI -- The Dolphins fired head coach Brian Flores after three seasons with the franchise, the team announced Monday morning, barely 12 hours after he coached the team to a 33-24 victory over the New England Patriots.

General manager Chris Grier will remain with the team in his current role, ESPN's Jeff Darlington reported. Next season will be Grier's seventh season as the team's GM.

The decision came from Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, who released a statement offering an explanation.

"I made a decision today to part ways with Brian Flores," Ross said.
