Dolphins HC Adam Gase fired Monday

Adam Gase on Monday was fired as coach of the Miami Dolphins after three seasons, and the team will begin a search to find the franchise's fourth full-time coach this decade.

The Dolphins announced general manager Chris Grier will be promoted to oversee football operations, while Mike Tannenbaum will be reassigned to another position. The next coaching hire will report directly to Grier -- and not owner Stephen Ross, as had been the case with Gase.

Gase couldn't escape the mediocrity that has followed the Dolphins since 2000. He finished 23-25, with his lone playoff game being a wild-card loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2016. A rumor that the trust between Gase and Ross had eroded recently.
