His wife and family are embedded in Kansas City.
This just doesn't make since to me other than John Dorsey and Clark Hunt didn't see eye to eye and Clark wanted it his way. They must have disputed more than once and you just don't cross the boss.

Could be possible, but if Clark is only willing to work with "yes men," then he's a terrible ****ing boss to begin with. Most owners I know would rather someone in a high-ranking position that is willing to say "no" and offer legitimate rebuttal, than someone that kisses their feet. It's a counter-balance for the stupidity of trying to run a large company solo.
This entire move smells, and I really don't think that the reasoning behind it could be legitimized. The conjectures that make the most sense are all terrible reasons to fire one of the best GMs in the league. Moves like this just aren't made, especially now.
The Chiefs aren't in cap hell, so I dispel that theory. They may have mismanaged contract negotiations, but that position was addressed a month ago. They can cut some fat on the roster with Smith, Hali, Johnson, and so forth next season and be in prime shape cap-wise.
Dorsey and Reid have a friendship that extends decades longer than Reid's closeness to Maclin, so I dispel the theory that Maclin's cutting enraged Reid to the extent he'd ask for his buddy's firing.
