I don't think it's a stretch at all. Given the timing, it fits under Occam's Razor. Doesn't mean it's the reason, but I could see it, especially with Mahomes now, Reid would have the leverage, figuring that the team needs him to coach the young QB more than it needs Dorsey.

So now Andy Reid is basically the QB Coach,OC,HC and GM?

Dorsey scouted and wanted Mahomes since last year. Reid just went along with it

That's the nature of the beast, especially when the roster depth he inherited was absolute garbage and he had to hit the market to even put a credible product on the field.

The man took the reigns of a 2-14 team with zero credible NFL quarterbacks on the roster and in the next 4 years averaged 11 wins/season and went to the playoffs three times.

What in the actual **** happened to measuring a person's performance by the totality of the circumstances?

No, you're just wrong. This absolutely 'should be surprising' because it's ****ing idiotic. You do not fire a guy that was instrumental in the turnaround that this team has gone through. Because if this is Clark's way of doing things, we're going to be Al Davis's 'fire and forget', unstable as **** Raiders in real short order.

Clark Hunt has repeatedly stated that it was important to lock up Dorsey and Reid to extensions.

In the meantime, Dorsey's name has been in play to replace Ted Thompson in Green Bay for the better part of a year.

I think it's highly likely that Dorsey refused to sign an extension because he wanted to see where Green Bay stood in 2018 and in doing so, Clark decided to fire him and move forward.

Hypothetical speaking. If we win a super bowl with smith as QB there is no way you start Mahomes right?
