CHIEFS HAVE COMPLIED WITH ROONEY RULE?
Posted by Mike Florio on February 4, 2009, 12:01 p.m.

As the Kansas City Chiefs continue to engage in one of the most secretive job searches in NFL history, some basic information has emerged regarding the process.

According to Nick Athan of Warpaint Illustrated, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt recently told a Kansas City radio station that the team has complied with the Rooney Rule, and that Hunt is “pleased” with the candidates who have been interviewed to date.

If, then, the Rooney Rule has been satisfied, the Chiefs are free to interview and hire Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley without interviewing now or in the future any futher minority candidates.

But it’s impossible to know whether Haley is the leading candidate without knowing who the other candidates might be.

And, apparently, we won’t know any of their names, since the Chiefs presumably told them that, if any of their names emerge during the process, the team will assume that the candidate whose name emerges is responsible for the leak — and that the candidate will be disqualified from consideration.

When are these national guys going to learn they can't use Nick Athan as a source?

[RustShack]

Clark said on the radio a couple days back that they already have. Wasn't this already posted or am I the only one who heard it?

I would not put any stock into that report, but I do believe that someone here said that Hunt said that the Chiefs have already complied.

[ChiefRon]

This is the same interview that was posted yesterday.

Clark did say they have already interviewed candidates and he has been pleased with the quality of the candidates, and I believe he did mention that they had complied with the Rooney Rule.

Nick is just reporting something that was already posted here.

Nothing new to see, move along.

Do we have a special smilie for "The Erroneous One"?

Yes he stated that in his interview on Channel 41 with Jack Harry IIRC.

Hahahaha, ok. I thought people were typing in "The Erroneous One" forever and it just dawned on me that it might be a filter.

This is the part that I like. Information lockdown.

Must be killing folks like Nick.

[FAX]

So ... if a candidate's name is floated, that candidate is removed from consideration?

That means that Haley is out along with everybody else we've discussed. Maybe we're hiring the Pillsbury Dough Boy. We could do worse, I guess. Heck of a blocker, that dough boy.

Oh is he done with hip surgery already? Or did Pioli just interview him in his hospital bed?

I never doubted they wouldn't comply with it anyway. People have just been losing their minds lately.

[EyePod]

I don't think we were doubting that we would try and do it. We were worried that we wouldn't be able to find some stupid minority to interview because it's been reported that we've been locked onto Haley. And they're not stupid because they're a minority, they're stupid because they'd be interviewing for a job which they couldn't get.

Here is what i hate. everytime i got to profootblltalk.com i see that this team hired 3 more coaches and that team hired 2 more coaches. If we don't hurry up and hire a HC how in the hell are we possibly going to find GOOD asst coaches?

Maybe we can hire tons of Steelers coaches. They couldn't have been signed yet!

[missinDThomas]

it is known that we need a DC, a ST coor, a Dbacks coach, a QB coach, and what else???

list others you guys might know that actually have to be filled because are empty, not just because they suck

[MagicHef]

Why is the search so secretive? What other team will gain competitive information by knowing what candidates the Chiefs are considering?

and....if the HC is the one who hires his own guys, who is to say that he would want any of the losers we have now.

If the new HC comes in and blows it all up, then who is left to hire. I saw that the PATS hired 3 new ones yesterday or the day before. I think Piloi's boy Bill knows who is good. Well, guess what those 3 guys are with Bill now.

No one will. They are creating a media frenzy around the Chiefs. ESPN has two Chiefs articles on their main page right now:

Did anyone hear Petro yesterday about 11:00? He said, and I am paraphrasing, that several Chiefs rumors have been going around town and that he gets calls and emails from info posted on a Chiefs Fan Board. Several of these rumors are linked to Nick and that Soren invited Nick to come on the show and talk about what has been reported. Guess what...Nick DECLINED to come on the air and talk Chiefs with Soren. Soren then implied listeners should that Nick's decision for what his info is worth.

Okay Gang,
I just got some inside info on Nick Athan,
a friend of mine designs custom computers and such and he got an order for this:

I can understand keeping things close to the cheast, but come on. What? Are they afraid some other team is going to swoop in and grab thier man? The longer this draws out the less I'm convinced it's Haley, but WTH do I know. This shit has me scratching my head, Pioli is starting to act like a drama queen.

This makes no sense. How does someone act like a drama queen when they don't make a big show of everything they're doing?

Here's the definition of a drama queen per Urban Dictionary:

Someone who turns something unimportant into a major deal. Someone who blows things way out of proportion when ever the chance is given.

I'd say that this is perfect. Scott Pioli isn't turning something insignificant into a big deal. He's treating a BIG DEAL like a BIG FUCKING DEAL! This is our HC for the next 3-whenever years. This decision is huge and you're just pissed off because you don't know what's going on. Are you a KC Star reporter?

There's little else to conclude from Athan turning down the request to go on the air. It would be great publicity for his website, unless, of course, Nick isn't confident in what he'd have to say...

Noooooo....that can't be it.....
