Chiefs 104.3 the Fan here in Denver reporting

I just don't think the Rooney Rule is going to be a problem. All it requires is an interview, and who says the interview hasn't already occurred. The real question is whether there is mutual interest between Pioli, and Shanahan. If there is, then this will get done. And frankly, I don't put a lot of stock into what Jack Harry says, especially the time frame.

Edit: Here's an easy scenario in which the Rooney Rule becomes irrelevant. Suppose you agree to terms with Mike Shanahan as HC and Romeo Crennel as DC. To satisfy the Rooney Rule, you bring in Crennel, and interview him first, and notify the NFL you interview him for HC, when in reality you didn't, he knows it, and is fine with it.
