No shit.

1 Arrowhead Drive is locked up like Fort ****ing Knox.

And Teicher, Whitlock and JoPo hate the hell out of it.

They don't have to actually hold the damn press conference this week, but that doesn't mean that they can't unofficially have their guy in place, and if they did word of it would leak.

If we don't hear some similar reports on who the coach will be within the first couple days of this week, then I'm convinced Pioli is planning to have Haley be the next HC.

I thought that was just for the coaches of the two Super Bowl teams?

OK, well I can see that.

Your post said "if something happens," though. You made it sound like unless a hire was officially announced...

I agree that we'll likely hear some rumors at the very least that a deal is near.

There hasn't been one surprise decision yet. Pioli was the #1 candidate all along, and the only delay was the announcement. Herm was going to be fired all along, and again, the only delay was the announcement.

Does anybody really think this was in serious consideration. I'll put this alongside the Kirk Ferentz rumors that come every year. Was never really going to happen.

A source told me that we're hiring Haley, and he's bringing Kurt Warner.:D

Time to sell that house I just bought next to Cowher's I guess.

I personally hope that Cower nore the rat is the short list.

Yeah, what sense does it make to have Super Bowl winning coaches at the helm...

Would be my guess to--for what its worth.

Because it might be Nick Athan instead of somebody credible?

So what's the latest on the coaching search? I was puking my guts out last night thanks to food poisoning.

I was puking my guts out thanks to ESPN and their "DEAL IS IMMINENT!!!!!!" garbage reporting.

ps: "Targeting" is what we meant!
