Dorsey was good, he wasn't the best and there are numerous examples of bad contracts.

He was good, he isn't irreplaceable.

I dunno man. He's pretty damn irreplaceable.

Man, there's homerism, and then there's fanfic.

I think it's pretty clear that Clark DID review the situation because Trip McCracken, their Director of Football Operations and Will Lewis, their Director of Pro Scouting were released in May, more than 5 weeks before Dorsey fired.

Marvin Allen, their Director of College Scouting left for Buffalo three days after McCracken and Lewis were let go (and took a demotion), so clearly, something was afoot.

Same with Harbough at 49ers.

Some teams do fire the wrong guy and will suffer for it, immediately.

Why are people saying it's a bad time to fire a GM. The draft is over. There's plenty of time to replace him. I hope Clark takes months to find a top guy.

Running this theory seems to me like the guy who proposes to his GF at a sporting event. Then when she runs off the court in embarrassment, he proposes to the nearest usher like that was his 'plan' all along.

You are a smart gentleman, so I am certain you have managed employees before, but I can certainly see how enough becomes enough and, as you are approaching enough, you begin to develop contingency plans, should you finally arrive at enough.

Just because Dorsey was blind-sided doesn't mean that's Hunt hasn't maintained a watchful eye over things.

The moment you don't keep your eye on the ball, and prepare to adjust the ship as needed, is the moment your employee, and you, are joining each other at the unemployment line.

It's a "bad time" because most, if not all, franchises will block the Chiefs from interviewing their staffers.

Or is posting pics of burning your apt down somehow what we should be doing on a chiefs message board?

Further to this, no one knows the state of the negotiations with Dorsey's agent.

To add, the contract negotiations could have served as a litmus test for Hunt's concerns as well.

To assume that Hunt was completely unprepared going into negotiations, should they go south, is a bit short-sighted.

I trust Hunt to go into negotiations in good faith, but for him to go into negotiations without a contingency plan is a fool's errand.

ur a dirtbag troll. that is all.

And it means jack shit for reasons I've already pointed out.

Keeping Cassel would've lowered that number so clearly he should've been kept.

That number means absolutely nothing.

#Chiefs /Dorsey split had absolutely nothing to do with Dorsey contract situation, despite a few speculative reports I've seen.
