No one can put Dorsey in the same can as Hot Carl and Pioli.
I totally agree with you, Hunt waited way too long to fire both of them. Dorsey built a solid core of starters out of the draft and had to take some risks on guys like reek and Peters to look better than he might have been but he wasn't trash.
My guess would be the lack of cap management and the lack of being able to sign big time FA's who could make the team better though Dorsey was hamstrung by Reid in the FA market with him breaking the rules to sign Macklin.
I guess it came down to one or the other by the Hunts and they chose to give the HC the nod hoping he can game manage enough wins until they get a chance to see what the rookie QB can do.
If Mahommes pans out then the deal was worth it, if not then the Hunts have to pay Andy and a new HC for a couple years.
It is easier for the locker room to have that continuity by not changing the HC rather than keeping the GM, especially at this point of the year. Really this is a decision the Hunts had to know was coming at the end of the season as there is no way you are firing a HC after Mini-camp and before TC.
