The coach should be able to tell the GM who he wants and what direction the team goes. The GM's job is to facilitate that. That's pretty much how every functional team works. When it isn't that way it's a Scott Pioli or Carl Peterson (post Marty) type situation.
Dorsey was able to do that to an extent but he sucked so bad at the business side of being the GM that it started to affect his primary role of building the team with the HC's needs.
And for the record, Reid was a damn good coach/gm combo in philly. His last two seasons, according to some philly newspaper guy, he wasn't the GM. That's why the mass buying of FA's those two years were completely out of character.
buttt...
REID DOESN'T WANT TO BE THE GM. Veach is the likely replacement and is very well respected as a potential GM in the league. He may be Reid's guy, but he may be the right guy.
