I don't think Andy wanted Dorsey here for some reason.

Good ****ing god, that was from 2013.

Clark Hunt has verified many times that Reid and Dorsey report to him separately.

It's an old article from when Reid was first hired....

Clark likely signed off on the $ for the deals

So...

I bet it is because we made a huge push to host the draft but didn't have a first round pick

This is from his first contract with the Chiefs

Which doesn't make sense to me because those weren't Reid's drafts. Those were clearly Dorsey's.

An outdated and incorrect article from 2013.

Smoking Gun!

:facepalm:

If that was the case then Dorsey would have never left Green Bay in the first place.

So Reid did want Mahomes!!!

Its already been reported Reid will not be the GM and that the new GM will report directly to Hunt so thats bullshit.

:facepalm:

Among issues I've heard #Chiefs brass had with John Dorsey: Didn't get some big deals done early (e.g. Houston, Berry). Cost them more later

That's not true, at all.

Why would Dorsey decline the opportunity to run his own team before being elevated to the Green Bay GM position?

There were no guarantees that he'd be the successor to Thompson but after his work in KC, it seemed more likely than not that he would be the successor, if he chose to leave for Green Bay.

Dorsey's a proven GM and it'll be interesting to see where he lands.

Of course, he did. Big Red was practically doing cartwheels after the draft. That was an amazing deal Dorsey / Andy pulled off moving in front of multiple teams. It had to be a joint decision.

Well, at the end of the day the coach coaches and the players play. I don't like this at all, but we'll never know what the hell actually happened.

I bet Reid wants to take a vacation. He's gonna get pounded next time he has a presser.
