Wanting and having offers to be GM are two different things. What I said makes perfect sense.

He would only have ONE ROLE as HEAD COACH, not TWO ROLES as GM AND HEAD COACH. One is LESS THAN TWO-simple ****ing math and simple logic.

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:

There's no reason to do that other than pettiness - a sentiment totally foreign to those he has already expressed regarding Bowlen.

(You would have to dig through several pages of this thread to get back to my original comment.)

I'm not doubting you, but I do doubt the validity of that source.

Vermeil was earning $3.5 million per year; Herm $4 million per. I have a hard time believing that KC was paying well above market value.

So orange, by your rationale, the only way Shanahan would coach in KC is if the Chiefs are paying the majority of his salary? Bowlen owes him roughly $7 million a year. So, using your gorilla math strategy he will only coach in KC if he is paid $15 million a year so the Chiefs pick up the majority of his salary? That sounds reasonable.

It's clear that winning brings more pay, but does higher pay mean results? According to Sports Business Daily, the average annual salary for an NFL head coach is $2.5 million per year.

The one from 2003?
