Sutton isn't going anywhere.
He's either going to retire/dies as the DC,
OR
He's going to get fired for poor defense (He'd have to reach Greg Robinson level bad to get that point, which is very unlikely).

It's probably because you're a mouth-breathing moron.
Yeah, Clark is going to give Veach a 4 year deal only to go with someone else in January. Your fingers should reject whatever signals your brain sends them before you post this constant nonsense.
Veach is a really well regarded guy who has a great eye for talent. He's going to be here multiple years. [Reply]

Exactly. If he wasn't going to get the Chiefs gig, he'd be elsewhere next year.
Also, if Veach succeeds for the next five years, it's likely he'll get to name Reid's successor, who I expect to be his former teammate and current Chiefs co-offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy. [Reply]

They hired Chris Shea as salary cap and legal executive, and Tim Terry as director of pro personnel.
They also promoted Brandt Tilis to director of football administration (replacing Trip MacCracken), Ryan Poles to director of college scouting, Ryne Nutt to assistant director of college scouting, Dan Zegers to college scouting coordinator, Jim Noel to be a pro scout and Daniel Ricci to be a player personnel assistant.
Even if they hadn't fired Dorsey, there was a big front office shake up.

That kind of **** up?
I agree our front office was working together. But that being said that would mean Veach was also involved in the 3rd round decision to take a CB over Prescott.
I'm not trying to throw mud on this hire. This was the right move and I'm excited that we have such a deep front office that we can lose our top 2 and still be in a good shape.
However, we did lose our top 2. Even if people want to say Dorsey's flaws were enough to get him fired, having Dorsey, Ballard, and Veach collaborating clearly was a great combination. I personally would have preferred Clark make this "audit" earlier so we could have Ballard and Veach(for as many years we could keep him). Ballard/Veach would sound better to me but who knows if that scenario was ever even possible. I just don't like reading that Clark waited until after Ballard left to assess if he wanted to keep Dorsey. Even if this works out better for us that still is a questionable case of timing. [Reply]
