Also, this theory of "Reid didn't want to let go of the guy with the real talent" kind of spits in the face of Andy's leadership and teaching philosophy.

Everybody on the Andy Reid coaching tree tells you about how supportive he is to all of his guys, and how he cares about them as men more than he cares about them as employees. He's not afraid to let go of great coaches so they can get promotions. I know that's basically any guy with a coaching tree, but in 21 years Andy has had some damn good assistants come through his ranks, and he's never removed the guy ahead of him on the staff just so he wouldn't lose the more impressive coach.

For all of Dorsey's faults, he DID make the Mahomes trade happen. That's nice that Veach was the one who found the guy and all, but Dorsey is the one who kept things quiet, found the perfect spot in the draft to perform the trade up, and negotiated a pretty cheap deal for the trade up. It happened under his LEADERSHIP. If Dorsey wasn't such a ****ing asshole and knew how to better manage the cap, why would Andy want to get rid of him? Yeah, he had an impressive underling. But the guy in charge got the job done for the most valuable player this franchise has ever seen.

Veach would have left, but there would have been guys who take his place. Just like Andy's coaching staffs. If you're good at hiring and teaching your scouts, it all works out.
