A loaded roster was up against the cap...who would have thought! The firing was dumb as ****.

I get that they've been pushing the money back and kicking the can down the road which has caused things like the maclin cut etc.

But that just seems off to me. I don't know, I haven't really heard a reason yet that I really thought, "yeah, that's it".

We fired Dorsey a year before we were about to actually have cap space. Smith and Hali were gone after this year and we would have had plenty of money to keep our players.

I still think this is ****ing stupid.

The only way this makes sense is if Dorsey wanted a clause in his contract where he could leave for GB if he was offered the job.

That or Reid power played it.

Those are the only 2 things that make any sense to me

$10 million combined to Maclin, Tamba and DJ to not play here next year. Clark was stingy about money.

I think what Grunhard said on 810 lends a lot of credibility, especially since he's known Clark for years. "You don't embarrass the Hunt family and stay here long." I imagine the voicemail drama had Clark and Donovan pissed off to holy hell.

Still not a good reason to fire him. I wonder if Clark was thinking to give Dorsey 1 more year with his new staff to prove he can handle contracts and if it didn't work out, fire him in January and promote Veach. Maybe that was presented and Dorsey wanted long term confirmation and Clark said nope.

We will never get over the hump with Clark. Pathetic.

This represents my thinking.

I've been a big Clark defender over the past several years and feel like he's usually made the right moves based on the odds. But this? This mystifies me. I want to know why it happened, because from my couch it makes no sense.

Ryan Cobden has a interview tommorow

Yeah, because going 2-14 wasn't embarrassing enough...you abruptly fire the GM that has resurrected your team at 12-4 after letting his replacement go to the Colts.

The Hunt family can suck it....and play their power games. They are doing a fine, fine job at embarrassing themselves in running a professional football team. 49 years without a SB appearance...

The entire league knows this was an amateur move...

Some of this read is just ****ing LoL


Hey Chicken Little, the sky is falling...

Dorsey sucked ass when it came to money!! Almost 73 mil in dead money. Imagine the players we could have right now or we could use that money to give peters a extension

Dead money or not...he has built what many think is the best roster in th NFL.

They could be the Browns and have $40 million is space....:shrug:

They haven't been forced to cut anyone that was performing...

Howard, Maclin, signed Bowe to a shitty contract. Signed Grubbs to a shitty contract. Tampered with Maclin and lost a draft pick. I would say Alex Smith but at the time that was the best option.

The Hunts are why we have a 50 year title drought. Failure at the ownership level.

How can you people still not understand why he was fired when the reasons given have been stated and re-stated hundreds of times at this point.
