I think it's pretty clear that Clark DID review the situation because Trip McCracken, their Director of Football Operations and Will Lewis, their Director of Pro Scouting were released in May, more than 5 weeks before Dorsey fired.
Marvin Allen, their Director of College Scouting left for Buffalo three days after McCracken and Lewis were let go (and took a demotion), so clearly, something was afoot. [Reply]
Why are people saying it's a bad time to fire a GM. The draft is over. There's plenty of time to replace him. I hope Clark takes months to find a top guy. [Reply]

Running this theory seems to me like the guy who proposes to his GF at a sporting event. Then when she runs off the court in embarrassment, he proposes to the nearest usher like that was his 'plan' all along.
You are a smart gentleman, so I am certain you have managed employees before, but I can certainly see how enough becomes enough and, as you are approaching enough, you begin to develop contingency plans, should you finally arrive at enough.
Just because Dorsey was blind-sided doesn't mean that's Hunt hasn't maintained a watchful eye over things.
The moment you don't keep your eye on the ball, and prepare to adjust the ship as needed, is the moment your employee, and you, are joining each other at the unemployment line. [Reply]

It's a "bad time" because most, if not all, franchises will block the Chiefs from interviewing their staffers. [Reply]

Further to this, no one knows the state of the negotiations with Dorsey's agent. [Reply]

I couldn't care less about that because I'm not trying to be anything I'm not.
