John Dorsey to KC?

So Reid will be in charge and hire his own GM?

that would suck. I've been hoping Dorsey would take over when TT retires.

Elliot Wolf... and we'd be lucky to have him as TT's successor.

How strange would it be to fire the guy who interviewed you? That sounds goofy, and I don't think that Pioli is going anywhere.

I know Schneider took the lame duck GM job in Seattle but why would Dorsey?

Reggie McKenzie held out & now he has the power in Oakland

Hoping this doesn't occur and that Mort is speculating.

Mort is never right.

Dorsey has turned down the chance at legit GM jobs before. Why would he take this one?

Dorsey is in demand.
KC job is his if he wants it. Jets are also interested.

If Dorsey leaves, would that encourage TT to stay a few more years to groom Elliot Wolf?

He left once with Holmgren to Seattle and wanted back to WI due to family. Could be a way to get a nice salary bump. Realistically though, I would imagine Dorsey and Wolf are two of the hottest names out there for gm vacancies. Going to be hard to hold on to both.

Next man up!

Ron wolf is consulting with San Diego for their openings. That's worrisome. He may make a power play for his son as gm and Holmgren coaching.

That was a dozen years or so ago. He was just promoted last May. I keep hearing it's a young man's game (even in the personnel department but apparently not in the coaches). I wouldn't say his last shot, but if I'm sure spending a season watching Reggie in Oakland do what he is allowed to do wouldn't make him want to yearn to be second fiddle forever.

Rob Demovsky: John Dorsey and his family love GB but I'm told his wife has strong ties to KC area. She even works for a firm based there.

Reid has been hired by KC, and he promptly shoved Pioli out the door.

Dorsey's as good as gone.

I don't get why a GM would go somewhere, when they don't have the ability to control personnel.

I don't understand why teams and coaches continue to think it's a good idea to have a the HC also assume GM responsibilities? How often has that actually worked in the last 15 years? Bill Belichick? Ego and control aside, it doesn't make sense for coaches either. When it fails, as it did in Andy Reid's situation in Philly, the coach looks really bad.

We'll see real soon. If his wife likes it down there, it's a possibility but being the defacto GM just doesn't make sense to me

Heckert makes more sense for Reid. Dorsey has to see the opportunity but like is being said here he's going to be wearing Reid's failures as well.

Exit John Dorsey...

Enter Titan's former GM Mike Reinfeldt?

Wouldn't shock me. A very close friend of TT's, would bring in a lot of experience.

I thought Reinfeldt was a cap guy? The Packers have a pretty solid cap guy in Russ Ball.

Losing Dorsey would hurt. TT is the master but Dorsey as a talent evaluator shouldn't be understated.

He's filled in with multiple roles and yes, cap guy was one of them. But's that hardly all his resume consists of. He was the GM of the Titans and had control over player personnel and like TT, largely believed in draft and development however Bud Adams (owner) then decided Titans needed to win now and had Reinfeldt more active in FA then he wanted to be.

In fact, one rumor going around is that the reason for his firing is that he was unable to get Peyton Manning. Reinfeldt wanted to draft/develop a QB.

Bump Gutekunst up!

I just remember him being the cap guy during his time with GB, that's why I said that. Doesn't hurt to have another knowledgeable guy as part of the team. Hope he ends up in GB.

If Dorsey leaves, maybe TT would bring this guy in:
McCloughan

As far as TT's successor, I would think it would either be Wolf if he's ready, or they could lure Schneider back from Seattle. Isn't he from GB originally?

I wonder if one of Ted's disciples would come back home once the job is open. I think Schneider has had the most obvious success at this point, so he's a name I wonder about specifically.

If Ted really hangs 'em up in 2015 as some predict, will Elliot have enough experience to run the league's greatest franchise yet??

ESPN has said that Andy Reid will get to pick the GM. Does he have any kind of relationship with Dorsey?

Allegedly, Dorsey and Reid are very close friends according to ESPN.

Per PFT, Reid will have complete say and final word in ALL personnel decisions.

If that's true, not only should Dorsey not be interested in the GM position but frankly ANY legit GM candidate.

Really? What's the point?

Just give Reid both titles. Not like the NFL has never done it before:

a lateral move? still a 2nd fiddle? why? just for wifey could/would be all I can see...

Schneider made the same move 3 years ago. I guess guys like the title and the bigger paycheck.

First thing the new GM needs to do is get Jamaal Charles into counseling. Stat! LeSean McCoy and Brian Westbrook can tell Jamaal all about Andy and RB's.

Three words Jamaal. Learn to catch!

Speaking of KC:

@evansilva: Denver Post says new Chiefs HC Andy Reid is targeting Brad Childress to be his offensive coordinator.

Can we get some realighnment and K C in our divsion?

Is that a lateral move or a promotion?

The biggest hurdle Childress would have is merging Kansas City style barbeque with kick-ass tacos.

According to this report out of KC the GM will have complete control over personnel.

Dorsey is the GM of the Chiefs
