I think this was all Clark. He's a pretty smart guy, and I think looking at the cap situation that had emerged he didn't want to pay up for Dorsey. Not a total indictment of Dorsey, just Clark wasn't enthusiastic enough about Dorsey's overall performance to extend.
Dorsey will always have a special place in my heart for drafting Mahomes. People can give Veach credit all they want but Dorsey had to sign off on it, and it changed this franchise forever. That said, Clark's master stroke might have been to not care about any of that and do what he felt was best going forward. |

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. |

That contract would have been invalid anyway because Dee Ford would have signed it on the wrong side of the page.

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? |

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

I think he'd expect that to be the other way around . . .

Two weeks is especially fast because it was in the middle of the summer and there's was no hurry to hire someone.

No, I still think it was an already unpleased attitude and how Maclin was handled.

To the people saying it’s all because of Dorsey, why did they have to do it in June? There was no rush, the draft and everything was over. The odd timing is why I think it’s a combination of the two.
They don’t make that move in June without knowing they’re going to hire from within and keep it rolling. Not after they just drafted their franchise QB. |

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

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? |

You don’t break up with your hot (but older and crazy) GF out of nowhere unless you have a younger and hotter one on deck.
