And he has spent TONS of cash to walk away from bad directions of the franchise and has always tried to put the best possible guys in the jobs that are important.
Dorsry was highly sought after for a long time in GB and Hunt got him in KC.
Andy Reid was the best available coach on the market in 2013 and Hunt went out and hired him.
It's arguable that Scott Pioli was the most sought after GM prospect in the league for a couple years and it was huge when Hunt hired him....it didn't work out, but at least he went out and paid top dollar to try to win.
Hunt has written a lot of HUGE checks, too....so that Dorsry can maneuver the cap however he wants and give guys like Eric Berry 78million dollar deals with a 5m cap hit year 1.
Same with Houston's, LDT, Kelce and other big deals Dorsey has signed guys to.
Hunt has been a terrific owner that took over a very old roster with an aging GM that was no longer effective...and has transformed it into one of the best franchises in football.
