We do not have a definitive answer on that.
Rumors are that Hunt and the Chiefs were growing weary of him destroying the Chiefs' salary cap, and making a ton of controversial personnel decisions without clearing the moves with Hunt or Reid first. The Chiefs had rumored to be sick of his lack of communication and
then the Eric Berry contract fiasco arrived, and Dorsey was rumored to want to let Berry walk. The Chiefs, in particular Clark Hunt, hated that, and Hunt himself had to intervene to keep Berry in the building.
Cutting Maclin was the last straw, so the rumor goes. It incensed both Hunt and Reid.
Shrug. It's all just whispers, we really have no idea.
