Apparently so. What other explanation is there for the Chief's, sudden firing of GM John Dorsey last Thursday, AFTER the Draft and AFTER the major free agency signing period. Apparently he was the final victim of a major front office change. The timing signals a bit of chaos in the Chief's camp.
Some think that the front office does not think that the Chiefs will have a very successful season and may not even make the playoffs. Some shops in Vegas have their win total at 9. They are picked to finish 2nd, well behind the Raiders, and not that far ahead of Denver. By firing Dorsey, the Chief's front office gives themselves a convenient excuse. With no #1 pick nest season, the Chiefs will need an excuse.
Apparently Andy Reid had nothing to do with this change. Andy will continue on as HC, winning 8-11 games, and then failing in the playoffs, as his teams always do. That will not change. The Chiefs are a team you can count on to play decent ball, but not win a Championship. Right now, it is doubtful that they will be a serious competitor in the AFC for several years to come. Look for fade opportunities this season with this team. 10-6 looks about as good as they will get. 8-8 is certainly not out of the question.
