Terez is the man to trust. He thinks it was mainly about Dorsey wanting just good old too much money. The negotiations went bad so Clark let him walk with pay. Something went south for certain but Andy would not try something so stupid that certainly would put him in an NFL shit list.
A football coach would not try to gain power over his GM?
What?!
I mean, I'm not saying the alternative is wrong, but that's a story we've seen a million times. It's far from unrealistic.
I'm more skeptical it was simply a financial move. Dorsey was doing a ****ing great job and Clark has NOT been apprehensive to spend money since he became owner. Bad decisions? Yes! Bold expensive moves? Andy Reid wasn't cheap. Pioli was highly sought regardless of how awful he was. I'm VERY skeptical, and would be enormously disappointed to find out it was true. [Reply]

The press release sure makes this seem accurate. "We decided to make this move now to allow John to pursue other opportunities."
It is an incestuous league as most "industries" are and people talk thus I am sure when Clark had his suspicions confirmed catching Dorsey playing footsie under the table behind closed doors with GB after he probably told Hunt he has never talked with GB was the deciding factor. Just my theory. The key here was lying to Hunt when rumors were flying. [Reply]
Dorsey restructured Flowers deal then cut him a year later and waited till after June 1st to do so. Also took a hit for Dunta Robinson, who was DONE in Atlanta before he got here.
