Chiefs Schefter reporting Cowher tops our list of candidates, Shanahan will NOT be in KC.. - Page 12

Shanahan isn’t a candidate in Kansas City
http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/01/23/shan...n-kansas-city/

Despite reports running rampant that Kansas City is negotiating with former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan they are not, sources said Friday.

The Chiefs never have made any contact with Shahanan, never. And there have been no contract negotiations.

So unless people I have known for years are wrong, Shanahan is not going to be the next coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. It is not happening. People can keep talking as if it is. But it is not. He will not be the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009.

While football has speculated on the Chiefs coaching search the past few weeks, now Kansas City actually gets to commence it.

One NFL source said a name near or at the top of the Chiefs list is former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, who has been adamant that he will not coach this season. Still, the source said the Chiefs are interested in Cowher, though it is uncertain whether they would be able to entice him to come out of retirement.

Also on the Chiefs list is Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who used to work on the staff of Bill Parcells, the father-in-law of Kansas City general manager Scott Pioli. If the Chiefs wanted to hire Haley, they would have to wait until after the Super Bowl to make the move.

Dolphins defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni also is thought to be on the Chiefs list of potential candidates. Pasqualoni had a down season in Miami, but is highly respected around the league and used to work with Pioli for two seasons at Syracuse.

Some around the league believe that Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt has a strong feeling for Kansas City offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, though Pioli would have to sign off on the hire and some doubt that he would.

However it works, the coaching carousel keeps spinning.

And we now have 11 teams that have changed head coaches, more than any other season in NFL history. The changes included two Super-Bowl winning coaches that were fired, two Super-Bowl winning coaches that retired, and seven other changes.

This entire theory is bogus.

If Shanny had to "pretend" to look for work, his boy Schefter wouldn't be saying "I'M TELLING YOU IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN, THEY HAVEN'T EVEN SPOKEN" at the top of his lungs.

Right, Harlan made it all up

I think the Chiefs were about to negotiate with Shanahan (or had already started) and another interested party jumped in.

Hence going from "negotiating" to "targeting".

Doesn't mean he told him the truth.

If Clark/Scott asked him to keep quiet, what's he going to do, spill the beans?

The Chiefs camp has been pretty good about keeping everything quiet so far, so I'd buy that.

No thats not possible. One has to be right.

I believe this is all a smokescreen to get Cowher to piss-or-get-off-the-pot and reconsider coaching the Chiefs NOW in a perfect scenario for him...rather than sit out until 2010.

I wonder if he posted that there himself.

Jay Glazer should be in there somewhere.

Mama Hip Rockets · 01-23-2009, 07:13 PM

ESPN news ticker now says that a chiefs are targeting shanahan, but a "team official tells chris mortensen he does not believe shanahan will be hired."

missinDThomas · 01-23-2009, 07:13 PM

I'll bet money it is Paul Pasqualoni. He is defense minded, experienced, and Parcell's boy.

Red Beans · 01-23-2009, 07:16 PM

Well if a decision isnt made in the next five days or so, it might be safe to assume Pioli is targeting a superbowl coach.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 01-23-2009, 07:25 PM

Mortensen has come off his claim that this was a done deal. I saw him on NFLN saying not only a team official has told him it probably won't happen, but also that Clark Hunt will keep this under the vest and it will be a guessing game until it's done.

Maybe you should post this in another thread, tard.

I'll take your bet immediately.

There is no way Pioli is hiring a shitty college retread like Pasqualoni.

Working out of Thanksgiving Tower in Dallas will do that.
