Clark said Veach has the same "final say" that John Dorsey did. Andy has said he just wants to coach.
Not everything in the NFL has to be a goddamn conspiracy theory.

I think that all Chiefs' fans should care about whether our current GM got the job because he's the best candidate versus the only candidate who would take a partial GM position. Most candidates will interview for a job because it gets their name out there even if they aren't really going to get the job. That's the concept for the Rooney Rule, get name exposure so that you get another job later on.
Apparently, Dorsey didn't have much of a final say because he got fired for making moves without approval. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy for an organization to keep the real reasons for moves in-house. The power structure started out with Hunt followed by Dorsey/Reid on the same level. No way it's still that way, it's now Hunt ---> Reid ---> Veach.
Very little doubt in my mind that Reid played some part in Dorsey getting fired. If Hunt didn't like Dorsey then it shouldn't have been a last minute decision so why not make the move earlier and keep Ballard? No, the timetable indicates that Reid's contract extension initiated Dorsey's demise.
Just an opinion, but I believe that Reid wants control of the team and Dorsey got fired because of it. Once a person gets a taste for power they rarely want to give it up afterward. Reid had all the power in Philly and even though he doesn't have the title here he has the power again. Veach will take care of the day-to-day issues and scouting but when it comes time to the real decisions Reid will tell Veach what he wants to be done.
