After Saturday’s wild-card playoff loss to Kansas City — yet another early postseason exit for the Dolphins — Grier was hesitant to declare his efforts a success.

The Dolphins have put together four straight winning seasons, but have no playoff victories to show for it. Miami has gone 23 years since its last postseason win, which is now the longest drought in the NFL after Detroit beat the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.
