He pissed off Clark bc Clark had to step in on the Berry deal. He also pissed off the scouts as reported by the Star. Clark’s evaluation saw that internal staff loathed Dorsey and he made rash decisions on his own by going rogue.
I think he would have been GM for the rest of the 2017 year if he didn’t finally piss off the one person who had his back. Andy vouched for Dorsey when he got here. Andy isn’t the kind of guy to give up on people, but Dorsey finally broke the camels back.
When he went rogue one last time and cut Maclin by voice mail, that was it. Keep in mind this happened like 2 or so weeks before Dorsey was let go. Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but the rumor was that Andy found out Maclin was cut from Maclin himself. Imagine being Andy and not knowing your friend that you hired cut a player you were close with by voicemail and he didn’t tell you? Also keep in mind Andy was just at Jeremy’s wedding a couple weeks prior.
Andy naturally called Clark and knew they decided that Dorsey was out and the kid that was close to Andy (Veach) had proven himself enough to get the job.
I honestly think had Dorsey not ****ed up with Maclin, he would have been fired in January 2018 bc of his ego and failures. He wasn’t gonna stop ****ing up.

I understand Dorsey was a complete dick, and I said from the beginning that I understand that was a huge factor.
But Reid knew he was dumping his GF for a hotter younger one. No doubt in my mind.
Again, both things can be true. Those kinds of decisions, especially being made right after you draft your franchise QB, aren’t made in a vacuum.
