The New England Patriots suffered a crushing 21-14 loss on the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. Grier initially latched on with the Patriots as their offensive backfield coach in 1981, before joining the scouting department from 1982 to 1985. In 1993, Grier moved back to the front office, working as the director of pro scouting until 1995. When his son, Chris, became the Miami Dolphins general manager in 2016, he joined their front office, working as a consultant for the team. During his lengthy career with New England, Grier wore many hats, and his contributions to the team certainly have not been forgotten.
