Now What? I Was Getting Used to Thinking the Chiefs Were Really Doing Things Where They Could Actually Win

Just picked up the news that the guy who has been most responsible for the Chiefs splendid revitalization was fired.

John Dorsey is gone.

What the ----?...

Details are still coming in, and there seems to be all kinds of conjecture about what happened. It seemed Dorsey had dispelled the considerations that he'd bolt to Green Bay -- good. It appeared he'd pulled off another spectacular draft, snatching up a quarterback everyone knew was going to be groomed for success a few years out -- good, this means John's planning to be around.

Now this.

Sorry, but this is crushing for the Chiefs. We can try to put a nice coat of the sweetest vanilla frosting over this, but it is still a rotting heap of sewage. You absolutely have to have a guy like Dorsey at the top making wise personnel decisions every single day, not just on draft days.

Sure we can hope for the best from a new GM coming in, that's fine, it's all we got right now anyway, really, so there's that. But what about the stability of a franchise that just dumped one of the very best, most respected GM's in the game? Are we really going to get someone who is just as good as John?

::Sigh::

As it is we have to really hope that Clark had a really really good reason for this that everyone will really really really understand was justified.

Really.

Because if the wholly reasonable justification and the widespread certain assurance among everyone isn't there, I truly fear for our beloved franchise, I really do. Call me melodramatic, but I've seen too much sports stuff and seen too much the critical importance of having stable and skillful front office people driving team success.

Again, here's hoping there's a reason and that we're better for it.

Right now though, it's pretty much just mourning.
