After the Chiefs announced Thursday that they and general manager John Dorsey had agreed to part ways, team chairman Clark Hunt sent an email to season-ticket holders that said he “felt it was best to make a change.”

In the letter, Hunt writes, “It was a difficult decision, but after a thorough evaluation of the entire football operation, I felt it was best to make a change.”

Hunt went on to write that the general manager search will “include both internal and external candidates. I believe that we have a strong foundation in place, and we will continue to work tirelessly to build on the success we’ve sustained over the last four seasons.”
