It's official. Zero management experience. One and only job in NFL college scout.
How can you be disappointed with this? He was the one who built the Packers into what they are today. We had someone with "management" experience. His name? Scott Pioli, and how did that workout?
Yeah but he worked with Reid so there is chemistry and he is up for debate the best in evaluating talent in the league. I would think it keeps Bowe and Albert in town. Dorsey isn't staying he needs to be in a 4-3 unless of course they tell him we are gonna make the switch back.
Pioli worked out about as well as someone wiping their behind with poison ivy.Quote:

I really didn't pay any mind to it but at the hotel i used to work two years ago Walter white would come in. I asked what he thought of pioli and he said that pioli really wasn't willing to help out the chiefs ambassadors kind of closed them off. As much as I wanted him to work he had way too much of an east coast mentality. Didn't understand Midwest values and the community turned on him. Dorsey will not make that mistake. It's a perfect fit. I would say Green Bay is very well attached to the community just like KC used to be and will agan. Excellent job Clark.Quote:

I remember Walter White. He wore #88, played TE and in 1975, he made several big plays, including a long TD reception in the game at KC against the Raiders that sparked a 42-10 victory. Oakland had 2 very good Safeties in George Atkinson & Jack Tatum at that time, but White smoked them on that play.Quote:

Often times, the former players were invited to accompany the team for road games and were allowed to be on the sidelines during Peterson's tenure.

Not quite. Dorsey will have some say regarding player/personnel decisions. Clark has already said so. Both the HC and GM will be reporting to Clark. Nobody is being given the power that Pioli had before.Quote:

Some of Reid's picks when it was all on him were not so good.

Don't like the Dorsey hire read this to learn a little about him before passing judgement, after reading it I like it almost as much as, if not more than the Reid hiring.
Like others have stated, he's got scouting skills. That is what we have not had. Green Bay has been in the mix how long? They lost B. Favre and still won a superbowl. Seems like they always have plug and play players to me. If he scouted Aaron Rogers that's good enough for me.

I'm already getting excited for this coming year! Clark, my hat's off to you son!
Tell me about it, I also like how he said heQuote:

“One of the things that’s going to be very appealing in Kansas City is John’s personality,” said Harlan. “He’s very down to earth. The fans will take to him in a hurry. He’s great in the office, he’s great in the locker room."

I like the Dorsey hire. I don't think he is going to be the powerful GM that SP or CP were, but I don't think he wants to be either. He doesn't seem to have that big ego thing going on. He seems to know scouting and know talent and those seem to be the things he really wants to do. I think that between Reid and Dorsey we have a really good team.
I'm very excited about this hire. Can't believe we are ginna have someone competent enough to actually scout true talent instead of someone who thinks they're gonna find the next Brady type player by reaching for people you could have got in a later round. Great article on him btw. Fo Chiefs!!
Go Chiefs
Great Hire! Reports all week was how this is the perfect hire. He was with Greenbay for 20 years. Starting from Scouting games for Greenbay when Herm Edwards was scouting for the Chiefs and worked his way up to Director of Personnel.Quote:

He has been approached many times before to be a GM but Greenbay always promoted him to keep him on their staff. The biggest difference is his Wife is a KC local and it is believed that he would not be taking over Greenbays operations any time soon.
so far, it looks like Clark is making all the right moves bringing in the right people. really likin it. i hope they draft as well
