"@JasonLaCanfora reports Green Bay executive John Dorsey is "all but certain" to serve as general manager under Andy Reid in KC."

sounds pretty good to me


I really like it that we got things done early this time so we have more choices for coaches etc

Kick a**. I need more lotion

HOME RUN Hire if it happens

Hot damn. I'd have been thrilled to have the guy as GM without a top-tier coach, so I'd be especially excited to see him come here with someone like Reid. If we're lucky, we could have a dynasty on our hands!

Dude it doesn't get worse than Scott Pioli, Ronald Mcdonald would be a step up from the ass****

I'm not buying.

Why would he come here? Sure he's got a good relationship with Reid but thats only a part of the equation.

He has been one of the most sought after GM candidates the last two years. He has told everyone he didn't even want to interview, no matter the money.

So riddle me this, he finally decides to leave the Packers, he can have any open GM job he wants. Why would he go somewhere he is not going to have full control og the GM duties?

Has connections in KC besides his good friendship with Reid. His wife works for a KC based law firm.

they were saying the same thing before Reid came here

'why would anyone good come to KC?'

Lots of smoke. Might love Geno. Wants exec of the year

Perhaps it's because he doesn't want full control? He's had success throughout his career as a talent recognition specialist, so it wouldn't surprise me if he'd jump at the chance to continue doing that with the title and pay of GM. Just a hunch.

You should ask your source....

But she has worked in another city. Shes a lawyer. No matter what city they move to she can find work.

oaky, they are good friends but this is business. Why would he not want to be the big dog? To be a good GM in the NFL you have to be a ambitious strong cold ass leader. why would that type of person choose to be second fiddle to anyone?

The fact that Reid has the control he now does, he may give certain GMs more power depending on who they are... If Pioli was still here...Reid would probably give no control to him. If Dorsey comes here, why couldn't Reid give up some of his control to Dorsey so he can focus on other aspects.

Reid has control...he can do what he wants with it.

The fact he's turned down past opportunities (to even interview) in places where he'd likely be given full control shows that the full control thing isn't his M.O.

He's spent his entire career working for Green Bay, save for one season when he worked for Holmgren in Seattle.

Going to a place like KC, to work with his close friend, Reid and someone he's familiar with professionally should be attractive to him.

Already posted his answer two days ago.

The one where the rumor has legs and Pioli is staying?

Heckert?

Never heard of this guy before two days ago. After hearing a ton about him and looking at his drafts I'm in on this guy. **** it. Lets go big.

Looks like Trent Green with a Joker smile.

I would think it would be a home run hire. Would love for him to be in the draft room for the Chiefs.

maybe he will be the big dog at his next job and will be happy at this stop just getting some experience (but he's getting that already with a Super Bowl contender) and working with this friend?

Just seems a stretch. Maybe its the Chiefs fan in me, nothing works out for us.:rolleyes:

yes based on Dorsey going elsewhere for full control.

Dude, don't start that shit. He's got about 85% of his shit right this time and I still don't trust the guy. ****ing ESPN and the big boys got shit wrong on this one.

Nothing to do with someone in the know saying this or that will happen. Just going off human nature.

Not trying to be Debbie Downer here. Hope like hell it happens.

I think one is a win and the other is a big win.

I'm ok either way

Interesting regarding a potential issue to hiring Dorsey:

“Final say” could become an issue for G.M. hire in Kansas City

Posted by Mike Florio on January 3, 2013, 5:23 PM EST

With Andy Reid reportedly poised to become the next coach of the Chiefs (of course, it’s been close for six hours now), plenty of names are bubbling up for the position of G.M., if/when Reid takes the job.

Here’s the most important thing to keep in mind when assessing who may end up in that job. If it’s a guy like Packers director of operations John Dorsey, the Chiefs technically would have to offer him final say in order to wrest him away from Green Bay, if he’s still under contract and if the Packers opt not not to release him from it.

Of course, plenty of teams have given “final say” to the G.M. even though the coach was actually in charge. It happened when the Browns hired George Kokinis from the Ravens and when the Dolphins hired Jeff Ireland from the Cowboys. Teams generally don’t like to pick fights over these issues, and Dorsey has been a long-time, loyal employee of the franchise. So maybe he wouldn’t need a cheesecake with a file in it to get out of Wisconsin.

Still, regardless of who it ends up being, the issue of “final say” could become an issue in hiring a G.M.

He could have watched a guy like Pioli and just waited for the right time to work with the people that he thought were most likely to succeed?

Well Heckert just cancelled his Jets interview, so...:hmmm:

If he can draft for a 3-4 base then I'm cool with him.

Put some white paint on his face and he could be mistaken for Heath Ledger's father perhaps...

:facepalm:

ROFL

I might just become a dad here shortly if this happens...

Sorry i get sketched out about GMs now

Arrowhead Pride ‏@ArrowheadPride
Packers' John Dorsey is the 'clear-cut favorite' and 'all but certain' for Chiefs GM job http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/1...-chiefs-gm-job

From what i understand we can't sign Dorsey or any other personnel who still has a team in the playoffs. We can interview them but they can't sign until their team is eliminated.

Is this correct?

i think that's right...i think they can agree in principle, but can't officially sign til their season is over......or maybe that's just coaches and players.

I have agreed in principal to GM the Chiefs. I'm also going to run the office by taking fan suggestions and popular vote polls. So just to start out who should I go after? Should I offer the packers 2 entire drafts for Rodgers?

I don't think that's correct...

Only for coaches under contract. Iirc

:hmmm:

I don't know


anyway ... Mortenson just said "The biggest intrigue around the NFL is that Reid is expected to lure Packer's director of football operation John Dorsey to be the teams' General Manager. Reid and Dorsey, who is considered one of the leagues best talent evaluators, are tight from their days in Green Bay together. And as a side note, Dorsey's wife is a lawyer for a Kansas City firm and also went to the University of Kansas ... don't underestimate the wife factor."

I think we all know who to root for now.
Let's go Minnesota! A quick exit for the Packers means getting Dorsey locked up by mid-week. Then Reid can start rounding out his coaching staff.

Are you ****ing kidding me? We have Clark Hunt, he refuses to strike out.

Mike Garafolo ‏@MikeGarafolo

Rooney Rule-satisfying interview in KC will be Ray Farmer. Team will interview its current director of pro personnel for its vacant GM job.

Go Vikings!

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Cgoqrgc_0cM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

:facepalm:

Such an embarrassing rule.

I saw that Farmer is getting an interview with the Browns, too. He's pretty highly regarded. Definitely someone who can weed out the guys who refuse to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

.........he's just rooney rule fodder.

n00b....

I agree. Sometimes I think the rule makes it more embarrassing for minority coaches than not having the rule.

Sometimes. But the rule has helped Dungy, Tomlin, Lovie get HC jobs probably

Didn't Dorsey meet with the Jets yesterday?

...anyone know how that went?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...mble-as-new-gm

"According to multiple sources, including Brian Basset of TheJetsBlog.com and Conor Orr of the Star-Ledger, the Jets are getting set to hire Tom Gamble as their new GM to replace the recently fired Mike Tannenbaum."

I am guessing Dorsey to KC and Gamble to NYJ.

:clap:

The Jets and Panthers are hiring a GM and keeping the previous HC, allowing the GM an "evaluation" year.


Stupidest shit ever.

Damn I was hoping for Rivera

Hmmmm like i guessed

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora
Kansas City Chiefs interviewed Ray Farmer, already on staff, for their GM opening today. Still likely to hire John Dorsey

Q


Bitch

Ponder's inactive so we'll most likely have to wait another week to bring Dorsy in.
Reid'll have to bide his time and work on assembling his coaching staff.
Hopefully with the extra week, the situation with Ray Horton will also be resolved.

Yep.. so I guess we are pulling for the Vikes tonight. (which I assume is what you meant... so he can move on to Dorsey)

If Dorsey already interviewed for the Jets' position, then why couldn't we interview him this week?

If Dorsey wants the job, he can come whenever he wants. They are no restrictions on front office personnel interviewing and changing jobs during the postseason like there are with coaches on staff.

Front Office people can interview when ever they want if the team allows it.

Dorsey is the GM just gota wait for GB to be knocked out. Heckert will be hired for the front office soon as well

Reid: Ok, Ray...we're happy to have the chance to talk to you about our open GM position.

Ray: Thanks, Coach. Congrats.

Clark: Hey guys, I just want to confirm that Ray you ARE an African American...is that correct?

Ray: Uh, duh. Of course.

Reid: Check.

Clark: Check.

Reid/Clark: Well, bye.

I realize that, but no front office person is going to join the staff of a team sitting at home while his current team is still alive in the post-season.

Not true

This is true. Hence Dorsey's interview with the Jets.
He won't join another team until Green Bay's out though.

:):deevee::BS::bang::$2500:

Ok well he wont join until GB is done

because i don't think we need to interview Dorsey at all


Reid is making the decision and he already knows him well. If Dorsey wants to come then he will come.

It's about whether Dorsey can actually leave while Green Bay is still in the playoffs that i'm unsure about.

Can we officially hire a FO member from another team (Dorsey) while they are still in the playoffs...?

I'll do the same...one of us will get an answer, hopefully. :p

Peter King now has no idea anything involved or having to do with the KC Chiefs. His little rat is back in NE.

@SI_PeterKing can the chiefs hire Dorsey while the packers are still in the playoffs, or do they have to wait?
