I don't think it'll be much less than $6 million.

Herm was paid $4 million and he didn't coordinate a unit that won a Super Bowl or coach a team that won two.

Herm was overpaid. I think $5 million per year will land Shanahan.

It's gonna happen only a matter of time.

There are only 2 coaching jobs that are vacant right now, KC and Oakland. No way he goes to Oakland. He is ours.

Especially if the contract is structured in the following fashion:
Y1 2MM (plus 4.5MM from Donks)
Y2 2MM(plus 4.5MM from Donks)
Y3 2MM (plus 4.5MM from Donks)
Y4 8.5MM
Y5 8.5MM

Excuse me, but that doesn't even make sense. Shanahan WANTS the GM role as well. The coaching job without the GM job is LESS desirable. Logic would dictate that you would have to pay him MORE to take that job than the one he really wants.

Which goes back to my original question - why on earth would Shanahan do that? What the hell does he owe the Hunts that he'd destroy his relationship with Bowlen for them?

this teams woes were 75-80% coaching. Get a good coach in here and the mess will be cleaned up fast.

A) Pioli worked closely with BB to the point of practically splitting GM duties with regard to personnel.
B) See: CONTRACT STRUCTURE
C) Still gets to crush Oakland.

Bowlen could well have done that the day he fired him over Bob Slowik.

Him not coaching at all puts Bowlen in a much worse situation. The fact is, that contract would be great for all three parties. Chiefs pay shanny 5MM per year. Shanny makes out like a bandit and Bowlen pays out LESS than he would have had shanny not taken the job at all.

Bowlen just slapped Shannarat around by hiring a 32 year old coach. What loyalty does he owe Bowlen.

He could want to take the year off. I just don't think he does. I think he's salivated over this job from the start. He was contacted by 17 teams per ESPN a week after he was fired.

I'd be surprised to see a Super Bowl coach agree to a contract for less than $6 million per, especially with the increasing revenue generated from the stadium upgrades.

If he went to Dallas, he'd probably ask for $9 million.

:evil:

See my earlier post quoting Shanahan's very own words regarding that.

By the way - if Slowik really means that much to Shanahan, then that means he'll be the Chiefs DC in a package deal, right? You're more than welcome to him. ROFL
