It made me wonder. If the guy has enough confidence to say that without thinking twice, what has he done within the building that we may not realize?

We'll find out soon enough. Some people seem to be trying to indicate that Veach and Ballard were really the people doing all the work and Dorsey was just along for the ride. If that is the case then Veach should be able to get some cheap, hidden gems in free agency before this season starts and there shouldn't be any drop in the draft next year. Dorsey drafted a QB before getting stabbed in the back and fired, so there shouldn't be a single excuse about why we don't make a legit push for the super bowl soon.
A bunch of people are citing the salary cap as why Dorsey got fired but the cap is not in bad shape. Cutting Maclin hurt but the cap next year is going to be ok.
Cuts next yr/cap space freed up
Alex Smith - 17m
Tamba Hali - 7m
Jah Reid - 3.2
Derrick Johnson - 8m
Demetrius Harris - 2m
Plenty of cap flexibility for us next year all because of Dorsey's lousy cap management. We'll still have an issue at linebacker unless some players step up this year though.
