Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

First off, Happy New Year everyone! Let’s make 2019 a great one.

The Adam Gase era in Miami is over. After three years with the team and one playoff appearance, Stephen Ross decided it was time to move on from the young coach. I still believe Gase is going to be a great head coach in league, but the team needed a change of scenery. The other big news coming out of Miami was the promotion of Chris Grier. Grier was the team’s general manager but now has full control over all football operations. Kudos to Grier who has worked his butt off for the Dolphins since 2000. The next few weeks are going to be crazy, so buckle up Dolphin fans.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
