Report: Chiefs want to interview Louis Riddick for G.M. opening

Posted by Josh Alper on June 25, 2017, 10:53 AM EDT

The Chiefs made waves last week with the surprising announcement that they had dismissed General Manager John Dorsey after four years with the team.

The team’s co-directors of player personnel*Mike Borgonzi and Brett Veach are expected to be candidates for a promotion, but the team will be looking outside the organization as well. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Chiefs want ESPN analyst Louis Riddick*to interview*for the job.

Riddick was a defensive back for several teams in the 1990s and worked in the personnel departments in Washington and Philadelphia before making the move to TV. Riddick interviewed for the 49ers General Manager vacancy earlier this year before they hired John Lynch.

Riddick said he was close to getting that job and,*true or not, it looks like he’s getting another chance to make his case for running an NFL personnel department.

The Mahomes theories have gotta go. Holy shit.

Dorsey himself said that he had to get the trade cleared through Hunt, and he also said repetitively that everyone in the draft room was unanimously on board with the pick. Hell, Riddick even tweeted that he knew Andy loved Mahomes ability.

Dude, give it a rest. Marcelus is correct. Hunt was all in. He said so himself.

If you think the GM went rogue and did something like that against the owners wishes knowing it would get him fired just to bless the KC fanbase with a first round QB out of altruism and pursuit of the greater good, I lack the adjectives to properly describe the lack of thought put into such an asinine and ridiculous idea.

Just dumb.

My original comment was in jest. But now I'm wondering - just how stupid is Marcellus?

Clark actually played poker this time so we could sneak up and get Mahomes.

You're right

As of June 15, 2009, Rooney Rule requirements now apply to all searches for senior football operations positions within the NFL, regardless of a team's title for that position. It now also includes all ethnic minorities, not just African-Americans.

Yeah, just edited my post.

Who was the minority candidate interviewed by the Chiefs in 2013?

All I can remember is that people said Dorsey was the guy after Reid was hired.
