LNBS: Did Reid force Dorsey out because he didn’t want to lose Veach

The timing of Dorsey's firing was directly after Eric Berry getting his panties in a bunch over his contract and Dorsey cutting Maclin abruptly. He clearly pissed off Clark. And based on the stories that came out of Cleveland, it's likely he pissed them off, too, even if they're just a bunch of simpletons.

Dorsey is an asshole who doesn't play nice with others. That's the best explanation for why he got fired.

2 months?

Dorsey was fired late June and Veach was hired early July. It was less than a month. There wasn’t much doubt he was going to be the GM during that time either.

Yep. Dorsey was fired June 25th and Veach was hired July 10th.

My memory failed me. I thought he was fired in early May.

I remember several weeks passing since he was fired, though. It took less time for Clark to fire Crennel and hire Reid. Why the hell would we fire Dorsey to ensure we could keep Veach and then wait so long to hire the guy we really wanted?

Dude, it was two weeks lol. Pretty standard.

All indications were Veach’s a going to be the guy and he was. I have no idea what you’re remembering here!

Dorsey is a ****ing asshole. Don't you think that's a far bigger point?

Bigger? Maybe. Far bigger? No.

It’s pretty obvious Veach is a great young GM. Why is it so hard to believe that Reid saw this coming and didn’t want to lose him?

You can believe both things at the same time, and I think they were probably both equally as important in making that decision when you’re talking about a team that was starting a journey with that young franchise QB. They might at least let Dorsey play out the year if they didn’t have Veach waiting in the wings. What was the rush?

Well, you can choose to believe him or not, but Clark said the timing was such that the new GM could be in place at the beginning of the college football season so that the following draft and offseason could work within the structure of the team without any kind of transition.

Man, you really don’t think Reid knew that Veach was this good and he was going to be the guy to replace Dorsey when they fired him?

If you want to say it was mostly because Dorsey was an asshole than fine, but you seem to think that Veach wasn’t always going to be that guy and I just don’t understand how you come to that conclusion. It’s clear that Reid saw something in Veach a long time ago and it was an inevitably.
