If they hire Brett Veach, you'll know otherwise.
Veach is a Reid puppet. Reid will feed Veach the reports and lead him around by his nose to make sure he gets back to taking lineman in the early rounds. Veach may ultimately report to Hunt but you'll be amazed how well Reid can disguise his lips moving whenever Veach speaks...
This is a power move. No matter how you spin it, Andy Reid held John Dorsey's job in his hands. He could've refused to extend had Dorsey not been re-signed and yet he didn't. Because your alternative to that is that had Reid given that ultimatum, Clark would've broomed both him and Dorsey.
No chance. Dorsey is gone because either Reid wanted it or just didn't give a shit either way. I'm betting on the former.
If you can name one other GM in the history of the NFL to take over the worst team in the league and over the next 4 years average 11 wins and then get FIRED after winning his division and getting a first round bye, perhaps your 'we should've seen this coming' theory would have some merit. But I'm betting this is completely unprecedented and as such, 'expected' it ain't.
Focus on a handful of bad decisions if you'd like (as though no other GM has those), but the scoreboard simply does not lie. This team has gotten younger, deeper and more talented under Dorsey. Is there some dead weight? Yup...welcome to the NFL. There's always dead weight. But on balance there's no way you can say Dorsey did anything other than a great job here.
This is a mistake.
