No top candidate would want that scenario...you would be always looking over your shoulder on any critical roster moves. Dorsey found this out the hard way...Reid wears the pants in KC.

Our current GM speaks to the situation as well. A brand new GM who has worked for Reid almost his entire career. I doubt any established GM was willing to interview for the job considering that it was really a Player Personnel job that was opened. Maybe the reason Ballard left was that he knew that all the power belonged to Hunt and Reid and he wanted to have a full General Manager's position.

So let me get this straight- not one national or local guy dialed into the Chiefs ever reported that Reid was responsible for Dorsey's removal. Not one. If that had a shred of truth, Paylor, Breer, Mellinger, Cole would have reported it.
Andy Reid had his worst seasons when he was in charge of personnel. He's a smart guy. Why would he want to add that to his plate? Makes no sense. I also love how Bronco fans bring up Reid's defenses without Johnson in Philly weren't good. You're right, they weren't. His defenses with Sutton here have been very good, so I'm not sure why the **** this matters anymore. |

As far as Veach goes, he'll never truly be Reid's peer because Hunt is ceding more and more control of the franchise over to Reid. Normally the head coach would be responsible to the GM and the GM responsible for all aspects of football to the owner. But with the coaching staff out of his control he's not really a full GM, not as much of a GM as others around the league are, at any rate. Perhaps any General Manager position is an attractive job, but being a full GM instead of a junior one would certainly be preferable, and working for an owner that doesn't replace GMs every 3 or 4 years would be desirable too. |

“Both he [Dorsey] and Andy ... I would expect to sit down with them over the course of the next year and sit down and talk about an extension,” Hunt said. “Let me frame it this way: I’m very satisfied with the job both of them have done, and I really like the way the two of them have worked together.” “John, the job he’s done in building depth and competition on the roster — and I think those were areas we were probably weak in when he joined the franchise — I think that’s made a very big difference for us,” Hunt said. “Certainly, a number of his draft picks have played well. Not only first-round guys, but guys down through the rounds. How things change after you negotiate an extension with Andy Reid. |

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. |

Reid was hired before Dorsey...then fat Scott was canned. Reid was just signed on to a 5 year extension...that, in itself, tells you the new GM wouldn't have the usual amount of control in shaping the direction of the team. He couldn't fire Reid... I still stand by my assertion that Dorsey, by the way the power hierarchy was assembled, was forced into a passive-aggressive situation from the start. He couldn't make tough personnel moves with impunity...I'm not convinced he wanted to resign Berry or was 100% on board with the Maclin signing. He never had the autonomy/final say to build the team in his vision... Dorsey is going to build another team.. and win a SB...Reid is going to have his feel good locker room. |

Where was Dorsey expecting to make up this 8 million dollar void? It was the right move...unless the HC views that player as his child and gets you fired for it. Last edited by BlackOp; 07-26-2017 at 01:11 PM.. |
