Why would he come here? Sure he's got a good relationship with Reid but thats only a part of the equation. He has been one of the most sought after GM candidates the last two years. He has told everyone he didn't even want to interview, no matter the money. So riddle me this, he finally decides to leave the Packers, he can have any open GM job he wants. Why would he go somewhere he is not going to have full control og the GM duties? |

oaky, they are good friends but this is business. Why would he not want to be the big dog? To be a good GM in the NFL you have to be a ambitious strong cold ass leader. why would that type of person choose to be second fiddle to anyone? |
The fact that Reid has the control he now does, he may give certain GMs more power depending on who they are... If Pioli was still here...Reid would probably give no control to him. If Dorsey comes here, why couldn't Reid give up some of his control to Dorsey so he can focus on other aspects.
Reid has control...he can do what he wants with it. |

He's spent his entire career working for Green Bay, save for one season when he worked for Holmgren in Seattle. Going to a place like KC, to work with his close friend, Reid and someone he's familiar with professionally should be attractive to him. |

maybe he will be the big dog at his next job and will be happy at this stop just getting some experience (but he's getting that already with a Super Bowl contender) and working with this friend? Just seems a stretch. Maybe its the Chiefs fan in me, nothing works out for us.:rolleyes: |

Interesting regarding a potential issue to hiring Dorsey:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...n-kansas-city/ “Final say” could become an issue for G.M. hire in Kansas City Posted by Mike Florio on January 3, 2013, 5:23 PM EST With Andy Reid reportedly poised to become the next coach of the Chiefs (of course, it’s been close for six hours now), plenty of names are bubbling up for the position of G.M., if/when Reid takes the job. Here’s the most important thing to keep in mind when assessing who may end up in that job. If it’s a guy like Packers director of operations John Dorsey, the Chiefs technically would have to offer him final say in order to wrest him away from Green Bay, if he’s still under contract and if the Packers opt not not to release him from it. Of course, plenty of teams have given “final say” to the G.M. even though the coach was actually in charge. It happened when the Browns hired George Kokinis from the Ravens and when the Dolphins hired Jeff Ireland from the Cowboys. Teams generally don’t like to pick fights over these issues, and Dorsey has been a long-time, loyal employee of the franchise. So maybe he wouldn’t need a cheesecake with a file in it to get out of Wisconsin. Still, regardless of who it ends up being, the issue of “final say” could become an issue in hiring a G.M. |

Arrowhead Pride @ArrowheadPride
Packers' John Dorsey is the 'clear-cut favorite' and 'all but certain' for Chiefs GM job http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/1...-chiefs-gm-job |
From what i understand we can't sign Dorsey or any other personnel who still has a team in the playoffs. We can interview them but they can't sign until their team is eliminated.
Is this correct? |

I have agreed in principal to GM the Chiefs. I'm also going to run the office by taking fan suggestions and popular vote polls. So just to start out who should I go after? Should I offer the packers 2 entire drafts for Rodgers?

I don't know anyway ... Mortenson just said "The biggest intrigue around the NFL is that Reid is expected to lure Packer's director of football operation John Dorsey to be the teams' General Manager. Reid and Dorsey, who is considered one of the leagues best talent evaluators, are tight from their days in Green Bay together. And as a side note, Dorsey's wife is a lawyer for a Kansas City firm and also went to the University of Kansas ... don't underestimate the wife factor." |
|
I think we all know who to root for now.
Let's go Minnesota! A quick exit for the Packers means getting Dorsey locked up by mid-week. Then Reid can start rounding out his coaching staff. |

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo
Rooney Rule-satisfying interview in KC will be Ray Farmer. Team will interview its current director of pro personnel for its vacant GM job. |
Go Vikings!

Such an embarrassing rule. |
I saw that Farmer is getting an interview with the Browns, too. He's pretty highly regarded. Definitely someone who can weed out the guys who refuse to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Didn't Dorsey meet with the Jets yesterday?
...anyone know how that went? |
Quote:
"According to multiple sources, including Brian Basset of TheJetsBlog.com and Conor Orr of the Star-Ledger, the Jets are getting set to hire Tom Gamble as their new GM to replace the recently fired Mike Tannenbaum." I am guessing Dorsey to KC and Gamble to NYJ. |

The Jets and Panthers are hiring a GM and keeping the previous HC, allowing the GM an "evaluation" year.
Stupidest shit ever. |
Quote:
|
Hmmmm like i guessed
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora Kansas City Chiefs interviewed Ray Farmer, already on staff, for their GM opening today. Still likely to hire John Dorsey Expand |
Quote:
Bitch |
Quote:
Reid'll have to bide his time and work on assembling his coaching staff. Hopefully with the extra week, the situation with Ray Horton will also be resolved. |
Quote:
|
If Dorsey already interviewed for the Jets' position, then why couldn't we interview him this week?
|
Quote:
|
Front Office people can interview when ever they want if the team allows it.
|
Dorsey is the GM just gota wait for GB to be knocked out. Heckert will be hired for the front office soon as well
|
Reid: Ok, Ray...we're happy to have the chance to talk to you about our open GM position.
Ray: Thanks, Coach. Congrats. Clark: Hey guys, I just want to confirm that Ray you ARE an African American...is that correct? Ray: Uh, duh. Of course. Reid: Check. Clark: Check. Reid/Clark: Well, bye. |

Reid is making the decision and he already knows him well. If Dorsey wants to come then he will come. It's about whether Dorsey can actually leave while Green Bay is still in the playoffs that i'm unsure about. |
Can we officially hire a FO member from another team (Dorsey) while they are still in the playoffs...?
|
@SI_PeterKing Can a John Dorsey leave Green Bay before they are out of the playoffs or does he have to wait like coaches?

Peter King now has no idea anything involved or having to do with the KC Chiefs. His little rat is back in NE.
