No. IMHO, these two are joined at the hip.
This isn't Grier's first rodeo. He was here during the Tannenbaum years mostly as well. He picked Charles Harris. He's had wins and losses. In the big power struggle, he won. He got other high profile personnel people to rebuild his front office. He got his coach. He orchestrated the tactic to tank. He'll get through this season and next year once we start to show improvement he'll last through there as well. Hopefully he'll last until 2021 and if we continue to improve he'll last beyond that. But if/when Coach Flo gets fired, Grier will be looking for work too. Ross is all-in on him. Ross gave him everything he wanted. Now Grier's decisions are his, and they have to work, or he will not survive.
Assuming he lasts a long time, he may see a new owner, and the new owner will bring in his own guys. Chances are Grier doesn't survive that. But, if Coach Flo gets fired, the chances are so does Chris Grier. But when he does, he'll land another job somewhere, because he's going to be seen as a valuable commodity in a front office. Just my $0.02.
