You can take the FFT of the FIR impulse response.  Then, phase = atan
( imag/real) where the real part != 0.

Then, just differentiate the result of atan with respect to f, and
there's your group delay.

You can make the block size arbitrarily large to get a good enough
approximation.  If you have the coefficients, and you want something
more exact... there's relevant theory in z-transforms, and probably a
better way to do the calculations.
