It's truly baffling. I tried very hard for a long time to give Steve Ross the benefit of the doubt and find the positives, because frankly, fans are stuck with him. I can't really do it anymore.
Ross is an honest to God moron, full stop. There's really no other explanation at this point for how the team's GM can consistently bungle the draft, free agency, and contract negotiations and still maintain employment. I don't care if Ross was sensitive to the optics of clean sweeping the only black GM/HC combo in the league, because even if he was this was still an insanely stupid way to go about doing it. Grier was the biggest problem and remains the biggest problem.
He is the one who had a relationship with Flores, he is the one who hired Flores, and ultimately, he is the one responsible for Flores. The cynical, manipulative, and cowardly operation of Chris Grier, getting his boy a job and then throwing him under the bus to save his own skin? That's just pathetic. This guy has become a Jeff Ireland level disaster, maybe even moreso, since at least Ireland could claim he never wanted Joe Philbin.
Right now what the Dolphins franchise needs is a plane crash involving Ross and Bruce Beal Jr. That's really the only way out of this nightmare.
