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

That he might have gotten rid of Dorsey to keep Veach, who he saw as a diamond in the rough.

That Clark got hoodwinked.

Now, since we won the SB, everyone is more forgiving of Andy, and so it's painted in a less nefarious light, but there's still a lot of speculation implying things that run counter to anything/everything anyone who's ever worked with Reid says.

If that seems like I'm misunderstanding, then perhaps it's my own bias.

I generally see a lot of over-reaction and assumption of back room scheming on this board when it's more likely a lot less sinister or sneaky than all that.

That’s a great point. I don’t know where people got this idea that Andy is power hungry or a control freak. But since we won the Super Bowl, I’ve noticed the talk about Andy being dictator for life in KC has died way down. Probably because it was a silly and stupid narrative that fans chose to believe to vent their frustrations

That fat reerun Ron Hughley was always saying that shit, but he's no longer on radio, so you don't have to hear him saying that shit.

In the beginning I thought Andy had full say in everything and made all the decisions. I thought he listened to his people though, but had the final say. Now I firmly believe that Veach handles personnel and Andy coaches. He learned from Philly.
