he has $4 million dollars no matter what...he doesn't have to stay quiet about it...if he is fired, maybe he's staying quiet out of respect for Clark?...but it's not like he has to stay quiet about anything.

I'm assuming a deal was worked out. He can't go out bad mouthing the chiefs if he ever wants to work in the NFL again. He went won 2 games in 24 tries. He wasn't done wrong.

Here is a couple things on the rooney rule so everyone will stop saying that interviewing Edwards takes care of it, probably a repost but at least it's not a new thread...............

Rooney Rule still in play for Chiefs
Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Kansas City Chiefs, Herm Edwards, Scott Pioli

It hasn’t come up, and it might not. But if it should, here’s the answer to a question that some have posed since the Kansas City Chiefs hired general manager Scott Pioli on Wednesday.

Pioli’s meetings with Chiefs coach Herm Edwards don’t meet the requirements of the Rooney Rule, which mandates that NFL teams interview at least one minority head-coaching candidate.

The interpretation of the Rooney Rule is that teams can’t meet with an incumbent minority for the purpose of creating a vacancy and claim that they have followed the rule. The rule isn’t followed unless a legitimate minority candidate is interviewed.

It’s permissible for Pioli to fire Edwards, but it isn’t permissible for him to hire, say, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz without first interviewing at least one minority head-coaching candidate.

Pioli said Wednesday that he plans to meet with Edwards before making any decisions about whom the Chiefs’ head coach will be. If Pioli retains Edwards, this point is moot. But if Pioli moves in another direction, he and the Chiefs still must comply with the Rooney Rule.

The NFL is not going to be sticklers regarding the Rooney Rule with the Chiefs...they can make a judgment call on this. I don't care what the letter of the "rule" states...this is not even going to be an issue for a team that currently employs an African American coach. Plus, why is anyone worried about this? Do you actually think Clark/Pioli are so stupid to have not thought of the Rooney Rule implications? A bunch of nervous-Nancy's around here.

Shanahan...wow. Like I said...at least we won't have to bitch about gameday coaching!

so what's Herm .... chopped Liver
oh wait....

i don't recall Garcia Bronco ever posting bullshit before


so i'll take him at his word.

I'ma ghost ghost ghost ghost...

How is the Orange Mane taking it?

thanks

so Fire Herm. then allow him to interview.

Yep, long time poster despite his allegiance to a foreign team. No reason for him to BS us.

If this is accurate, imagine the increase in the level of scorn that Chiefs' fans who live in Denver will endure.

:rolleyes:

THANKS MR TOMAHAWK



feel better?

HAAAA

No. THANK YOU! :clap:

[quote=Mr_Tomahawk;5415281]:rolleyes:[/quote]


did someone say something?

Not good. I don't have a problem with it. Coach is good and tough so bring it. I have nothing but respect for the man and his ability. It just sucks that things had run their course here.

You gotta post the story. lotta lazy folks on here don't wanna chase any links.

Anyone else feel confused? I bet this is how a gay person feels. They don't know if they should accept and embrace or continue to fight the feeling. I like Shanahan as a coach, just not our coach.

Ok...I'll shut my mouth. STFU :)

I don't believe this rumor. Having said that, despite my own feelings, the sense of shock and awe that this would level on the Broncos and their fans would almost be worth it to me. Here's a segment from this morning's Denver ComPost with a mailbag for Woody Paige. KC's not even on their radar:

http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_11521579

The reaction in Denver would be priceless to me.

This makes absolutely no sense. If Herm was fired, his $4 million would not be jeopardized by telling anyone he wishes that he was fired.

[quote=Mr_Tomahawk;5415306]Ok...I'll shut my mouth. STFU :)[/quote]

wha??



:)

...ya I understand...being a n00b, a lot of my posting privileges are limited.

I'd bet most of them would be pretty upset about it. If the Chiefs do hire him I'll bet several of the mange regulars will show up here looking for trouble. Before you know it they'll start pulling hair and trying to scratch our eyes out. If they show up I suggest giving them all a tub of Hagen-Daas and just let em cry it all out of their system.

No $hit. The people around here think they have 'the right to know'. The Chiefs don't have to tell anyone a damn thing. It's not full disclosure.

And we better get use to it around here. It was SOP in NE.

Yep, although he loves those Reverse Mojo threads .....................
















:hmmm:



















HEY WAIT A SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cuss:

See post #82.

Beings we have "48 hours" to speculate who our next HC will be...I want to take a quick minute to ask...

...Has anyone tried that buffalo chicken sandwich at Subway yet? It's looking mighty good right about now.

Five dolla foot loooooooooooooooong.. :D

hush n00b



:D

You've drifted far away from common sense. The Chiefs have no reason to keep Herm's firing secret. It does absolutely nothing for them. As soon as Herm is officially terminated we will know right away because he and his agent will pursue other work, whether in coaching or TV and the media will know this. And the Chiefs will begin the process of "officially" intervieiwng candidates, including at least one minority candidate. Even if they have already talked to Shanahan through back channels and have decided internally that he is the next coach.

That would be interesting. I think it would do Shanny good to coach outside of Denver. He's still slimy cheating lying scum, but he'd be our slimy cheating lying scum!

Dude, its all speculation. Get use to it. Information leaving Arrowhead to the public will be harder to get than finding someone who wants 4 more years of George Bush. It was the NE way and it will the way it is here.

unless you consider Herm and all the rest of the coaches might look more valuable to the rest of the league if they still have jobs while looking for another one.

maybe the chiefs haven't announced to HELP THE COACHES not anything else.

Why doesn't the interview of Herm count? I think it's stupid that it won't.

...starting to wish I wasn't so pushy... :)

How do I change my nickname from 'starter' to '..just a ghost' :D

i dub thee, Mr. Casper.




mods ......... see to it plox

GMs are not that stupid. Common sense tells you that Herm and other coaches have been discussing other options through back channels for weeks.

I always order the Chicken Teriyaki with extra buffalo sauce. It's a great combination.

Also, anyone try those Dominoe's subs? They look awesome!

http://www.junkfoodnews.net/DOMINO-S...WICHES-712.jpg

I'm leaving in 10 minutes for Denver. Even going there for a weekend feels wrong.

Its going to take me a long time to accept this.....

Its kind of like hiring a rival Taliban Colonol to coach our Marines or something.


This is the same guy who brought that horrible Cleveland Dline to Denver.....greased jerseys....

It feels wrong. Like, another dude rubbing your back kinda wrong.

Garcia/milehigh.

How do guys feel about Shanarat in KC?

I mean....he did account for 50% of Herm's WINS this season.

...a big day for me. :wipes tear from eye:

...now seriously...the buffalo sandwich..! :cuss: :D

sorry ... you're smarter than everyone else


carry on

:hail::hail:

This is true....kinda worries me we are going after someone who can't out-smart Hermroid... :eek:

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Nice one, GB..... ;)

Dallas is just like us. Interviewing replacements before firing the incumbents.

Hmmmm great...now I am even more confused on what to get! :D

Cutler's picks are why the Broncos lost that game, not because of their coaching.

Good point!

They look so good... MMMMMM

It doesn't bother me. Sure when he beats us I'll call him a ****er, but he's still the best IMO.

I'd rather Cowher still. I wouldn't feel as dirty. I might need to take a shower right now....

plus the fact that they currently have a minority head coach for the last few years, couldn't that be construed as a "loop hole"

this

HERM OUT, SHANAHAN IN?

Posted by Mike Florio on January 22, 2009, 9:31 a.m.
As Chiefs coach Herm Edwards continues to slowly twist in the wind, we’re hearing stronger indications that he won’t be twisting much longer.
Though it’s hardly a surprise, the signs currently are pointing at Edwards being fired with one year left on his contract.

Then the question becomes identifying the next head coach. And, inexplicably, a name gaining traction via rumors and reports that have been sent to us by readers is former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan.

On the surface, Shanahan and G.M. Scott Pioli don’t really fit, assuming that Shanahan aspires to run the show in the same way he ran it in Denver.

But there’s always a chance that Shanahan has reflected on his ultimate failure in Denver, and that he has realized that his errors in personnel, both with free agency and the draft, placed far more pressure on him as a coach. And maybe he has decided that he’d rather let an established personnel exec call the shots and just focus on coaching the team.

Then again, maybe Shanahan simply will say whatever he has to say and do whatever he has to do to get his foot in the door, and then he’ll worry about trying to take the place over.

Regardless, we expect something to start happening soon in Kansas City.

:cuss:

Shanahan is not the coach to lead a young team, all this talk is just BS until we hear it form 1 Arrowhead Dr. If Herm was going to be fired he would have been gone from the start.

:LOL:

Keep holding out hope....

So what is your explanation for why all of his assistants are leaving?

Okay gang, as many of you know I still have friends at the highest level in the Chiefs organization and have this info to share with full confidence: Mike Shanahan is the new HC. His announcement will come Thursday or Friday at the latest. Pioli and Shanahan are working out the finer points of his contract tonight, but the deal is sealed. Also, Pioli informed Herm Edwards and his remaining coaching staff that they will be released. All assistants can reapply through Shanahan.

I only share this information because I'm no longer with the team and it's fun to share that a new day is dawning at Arrowhead. Mike Shanahan will quickly move to clean out the offices and hire new coordinators.

The only info I have on the new defensive coordinator is it will not be Greg Robinson. Greg coaches in college and does not want to leave a place where he can hide his idiocy.

Mike Shanahan has contacted Romeo Crennel, but I don't know any info beyond that.

Til the bitter end!;)

Who is the source of that intelligence?

They were gone to begin with.

How would Herm be able to replace them with one year left on his contract?

Yea, Clady, Royal, Cutler, Hillis, etc. all sucked ass as ROOKIES under Shanahan, right?

You're argument is full of holes I can't help but laugh at it.

It's a joke you git.

Oh.

4 players, wow that's alot of young guys!ROFL

It's a take off on an earlier famous post.

Give us more than 4 young guys that have excelled under Herm....

You should probably go back to lurking.

No offense.

And they all PRODUCED. You might also realize what ETC. means before getting all high and mighty with your takes.

Excerpt from the Woody Paige page:

nebroncofan wrote:Steve I think it will be Gruden in KC. Pioli isn't going to give Shanahan the control he desires. I think Shanny will be in Dallas soon.

I thought so too.....but he will be the K.C. coach....and it will happen no later than Monday. I heard a rumor he was headed to Dallas with Jeremy Bates...that the Cowboys fired their D Coordinator to move Wade Phillips to DCoordinator so that Jerry Jones could save face by telling everyone he wasn't going to fire Wade....but now I hear K.C. and soon.

As a gameday coach, I'd go to war with Shanarat on my sideline any day. It gives us two edges IMO, the guy will do everything in his power to go 4-0 against both Denver and Oakland every year. And he is a solid gameday coach. And if he is truly going to coach here, he's already accepted the fact that he will work WITH Pioli to bring in new players, not tell Pioli who to bring in. That seemed to be his downfall in Denver.

The only thing that would worry me most would be his ability to put together a defense. He needs to hire a solid defensive staff, otherwise we're going to go through the same defensive deficiencies we've seen this decade...

:D

Put it this way nodody truly knows what the hell has transpired or was talked about between Clark, Scott and Herm. For all we know they're just moving forward with what they have and purging the roster of weak links i.e. Gun.

Ok...now I am actually starting to believe it...
