Whether Reid was in Clark's ear about getting rid of Dorsey or he was simply fired over money as per the official story, the team is not better off than it was before. [Reply]

The official story was that Dorsey stopped communicating and Clark wasn't going to extend someone he thought was too comfortable.

He has a Master's Degree in Education, interviewed for the Bills job in May, scouted and found several high quality players (LeSean McCoy, Desean Jackson among others) and according to NFL circles, would have been hired in 2018 as a GM elsewhere. [Reply]

Ballard is the big loss here.
'too comfortable' is not exactly a well reasoned justification for firing the GM right before the season IMO.
Especially, as you say, just months after the same owner let the top GM candidate walk away.

Remember the reports that internal employees were pissed that Dorsey got the credit for talent they found?
Do you think that Veach was the one finding a lot of the guys we brought in the last 4 years?
