I just don't see it...

I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt we hire Shanahan...

Okay gang, I was at the Oakley store tonight.........


I guess Garcia may have been telling the truth.

For your other grasping pleasure when hands are not on sack:

DUMBEST...SHIT...EVER.


USA Today announced on Wednesday that Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe and CB Brandon Carr have been named to the All-Joe Team. Both Bowe and Carr are receiving the honor for the first time in their careers. The All-Joe Team takes its name from former Chiefs DT Joe Phillips who played 14 seasons for Kansas City, San Diego and Minnesota before retiring in ‘99. According to USA Today’s Larry Weisman, the All-Joe Team is represented by “hard-working, overlooked, underappreciated player(s) who do the dirty work simply because that’s (their) lot in life.”
Bowe (6-2, 221) started all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2008 and totaled a career-high 86 catches for a career-best 1,022 yards (11.9 avg.) with seven TDs. He joined WR Otis Taylor as the second player in franchise history to register a 1,000-yard season in just his second pro campaign. Those 86 catches were the fifth-highest single-season total in Chiefs history. Bowe also led all NFL receivers with 15 broken tackles according to STATS, LLC.
Bowe has totaled 156 receptions for 2,017 yards (12.9 avg.) and 12 TDs over his first two professional campaigns. No player in his inaugural two seasons with Kansas City has more catches or receiving yards. Bowe also leads all 2007 draftees in terms of catches as the next-closest 2007 draftee to Bowe in that category is Detroit WR Calvin Johnson (126). Johnson was the second overall pick, while Bowe was picked 27th overall in the 2007 NFL Draft.
A native of Miami, Florida, Bowe was Kansas City’s first-round selection (27th overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft. He concluded his collegiate career at LSU as one of the top receivers in school history, finishing his time in Baton Rouge with 154 receptions for 2,403 yards (15.6 avg.) and a school-record 26 TDs.
Carr (6-0, 207) was the first rookie cornerback to start all 16 games for the Chiefs since CB Kevin Ross in ‘84, opening 14 contests at left cornerback and two games as the club’s nickel cornerback. He finished his first professional season fifth on the squad with 77 tackles (71 solo), one tackle for loss, two INTs for 67 yards, six passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. Carr joined teammate CB Brandon Flowers, Washington S Chris Horton, Arizona CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Tampa Bay CB Aqib Talib as the only five rookies with four or more takeaways. In perhaps his finest performance of the season, Carr intercepted Denver QB Jay Cutler, recovered a WR Eddie Royal fumble, amassed three tackles and added a pass defensed in what fueled a 33-19 victory vs. the Broncos (9/28).
The Flint, Michigan native joined the Chiefs as the club’s fifth-round selection (140th overall) in the 2008 NFL Draft. He was part of a Grand Valley State squad that compiled a 50-4 record and won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships during his tenure. Carr concluded his collegiate career with 50 career pass breakups (11 INTs/39 PDs), the sixth-highest tally in NCAA Division II history.




Bowe????????????




Carr over Flowers?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?




I swear to God; I'm a fan of the dumbest ****ing franchise in the history of football.

You are such a ****ing manchild. If ANYONE were to pull this shit you do here, they would be banned at your shithole.

With the denial being exhibited by Schefter and Teej, I'm beginning to move from "Shanahan wouldn't be too bad a move" to "**** YES, bring on Shanny!"

And of course some of us want Shanahan. He's (a) one of the best available coaches, and (b) hiring him will irritate a lot of rival fans. If the Raiders had just dumped one of their iconic coaches, maybe that guy would merit consideration too. Unfortunately, Lane Kiffin and Art Shell and Bill Callahan aren't walking through that door.

Clayton:

There are sports reporters that will do stories simply to dismiss the rumors.

Did 9News get Shefter's quote wrong? I don't know. I did not look in to it. Most of the time, these types of rumors are used in blogs.

One of the most enjoyable reads on ESPN is written by Obudsman Le Anne Schreiber. She writes a well balanced critical column on ESPN.

In the latest column, "ESPN guilty of teller becoming the tale", by Le Anne Schreiber, she discusses four issues with ESPN in the past few weeks. In "Case 1: Denial," Le Anne calls out Chris Mortensen.

All my casino cash for a month to the person that photoshops a Chiefs helmet into TJs avatar.

That's a lot of work for 1 hand of blackjack.

Found one at the Mane...

It's this simple...if there was no interest in the job from Shanahan's perspective, he or his agent would've already came out in the media and denied it...just like they did with the Jets job.

I don't give a shit what Schefter says, until I hear a denial from Shanny or his agent, it's clear that he's in play.

I'm not worried about it... if Shanahan were to coach KC, I have 10 years worth of stuff from you guys that says it's a bad move. :clap:

I really don't understand why the Bronco fans are so up in arms about Shanahan possibly coming to KC... They just canned his ass. They have a new wonderkin as HC. Unless there is the nagging feeling that if Pioli wants Shanny then, perhaps the Broncos made a mistake? Insecurity? On Shanny's end, it's clear that KC is a desirable location, more so now than before.

I'm certainly not up in arms... I think most people would like to see their former coaches and players not end up on another team within the same division. But, if he were to choose KC, so be it.

I think I would be more annoyed if he chose a place like Dallas (if it were open), but if somehow he landed in KC - that wouldn't drive me crazy.

It's not like any team can just add Shanahan and 3 TSB of water and ... BOOM! Instant Championship!

Shanny is a great coach and he will have success elsewhere, I'd just rather it not be with a team in the division. If he does, oh well.

I like the coaching staff that McDaniels has put together though...

yeah, I think that's about what how I'd feel if the tables are turned. Sounds like Shanahan is not a real option for the Chiefs, so I guess it's moot.

Chucky's available.

I would love to see Herm coach the Raiders, Chargers, or Broncos.

Wait until you see your awesome special teams coach in action.

Not a good fit in KC though.

with what has come out about his relationship with players i dont want him ANYWHERE near this team

I am laughing my arse off at how much this really bothers donkey fans especially TJ. THe poor jerk is out to have a heart attack. Shefter can deny all he want but read his words...
"I speak to Mike regularly, there has been nothing in his tone or in his message that has given me any indication that he will be the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The flip side of that Shefter does not say that Mike says he will NOT be the CHiefs Head Coach. Whether he is or isn't doesn't matter to me, but to see some donkey fans all up in the air about it is pure comedy.

And yet, "Shanahan to Chiefs" rumor threads have gotten over 60,000 views on this Chiefs board the last few days. I guess it matters a little bit to some of you. :evil:

I have never visited a Broncos forum.

Interesting that we want to be you, but you're here...

seems to matter so much more to donkey fans...this much commotion about what is going on in Chiefs land has the mange buzzing.:D

Yep, oddly, the identity of our new HC does matter a little bit to some of us...

"Shanahan could not be reached for comment and has not responded to text message inquiries. A Chiefs spokesman had no comment."

Denver fans seem to be frothing at the mouth by the mere rumor that Shanahan may end up in KC.

Why are Denver fans obsessed with the Chiefs coaching situation? No one here gave a rats ass about your coaching situation earlier this month.

Very interesting.

I'm still laughing about your Warriors comment-that was righteous.

When Shanahan ultimately takes the job in KC who is going to be more bitter... Adam "Shanny's Enema" Schefter, or the pathetic Denver fans gracing this board who obviously still have affection for him?

this. in classic 70's term. "BURN".

you could go to orangemange but never say anything bad or your banned....
pussy board.

Shanahan is not coaching the chiefs.... fine by me. It might have been too odd anyway. Lets got get Haley or Cowher.

"Shanahan could not be reached for comment and has not responded to text message inquiries. A Chiefs spokesman had no comment."

This would be real, real easy for Shanahan to squash.

All he would have to do is release a statement that "I'm not coaching in 2009."

He's not doing that. He's not returning calls or text messages.

Dick Vermeil wasn't returning anything in 2001 either.

People that hate Nicholas Athan.

I think Shanahan is one of the best coaches in the league, and hope we get him. But if we don't, Carl, Herm, and Gun are gone, and Pioli is here. That itself seems too good to be true.

First of all it doesn't matter to me if the Chiefs hire the Rat or not.
But Taco putting this thread out there with a emphatic NO HE'S NOT COMING ACCORDING TO SHEFTER!! just looks to me like Taco exposing his ass to be kicked once again if indeed the Rat does get hired.

And we all know Taco's record of exposing his ass. ROFL

Peter King is reporting Shanahan won't coach the Chiefs as well:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...efs/index.html

Deposed Denver coach Mike Shanahan will "definitely'' not coach the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009 -- nor will he take a coaching job anywhere prior to the 2009 season, an NFL source close to Shanahan said late Friday night. The source said Shanahan was adamant that he was not coaching the Chiefs.

This confirms the NFL Network report by Adam Schefter from Friday evening that Shanahan would not take the Kansas City job, which was a response to an ESPN report that Shanahan and the Chiefs were in talks that could have had him replacing Herman Edwards, who was fired by new general manager Scott Pioli Friday.

The affirmation that Shanahan won't coach anywhere at the start of the 2009 season won't do anything to lessen the heat on coaches in tenuous positions to start next season, like Dallas coach Wade Phillips. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admires both Shanahan and Mike Holmgren, the former Seattle coach who likely will return to football in 2010 as a coach or general manager or both.

Why did the Shanahan story gain so much momentum late in the week? Shanahan, shortly after he was fired Dec. 30, expressed admiration for Pioli to a friend and said anyone who would take a coaching job this off-season would love to be able to work with Pioli because he was the best personnel man in the business. Shanahan would want a strong personnel man to accompany him in whatever new coaching job he'd take, and Pioli, who was on the verge of firing Edwards, was exactly that man.

But there wasn't a compelling reason for Shanahan to take the Kansas City job. This is a good year for Shanahan to kick back. He's getting paid $7 million from Denver owner Pat Bowlen to not coach. His daughter is getting married this summer. He needs time to re-assemble a coaching staff. In the end, the Kansas City job might have made sense from the standpoint of a team in need with an owner, Clark Hunt, who would spend the money to win and a smart young GM. But it didn't make sense to Shanahan.

Peter King making sense
another amazing event

Damn Taco, isn't it painful knowing that the only reason your team got a SB ring is because of a cheating Raiders ex-coach? Isn't it even more painful that he is likely to come here and rub your teams noses in it twice a year?

shanahan is a used up old whore... he belongs in Dallas. I don't care who we hire at this point... I think it'll be Haley or Parcells... I just want to stomp the Donks twice next year.

King is an idiot, here's his quote..."nor will he take a coaching job anywhere prior to the 2009 season" Well how could he coach in 2008 for anybody besides the Broncos, Kingy?

King is just basing his report on AS's report. Lame ass attempt of being in the know.

Last century wasn't it?

Why would Shanahan even care to do that? He benefits from any intrigue that is generated by the possibility of him coaching. And plus, he has to appear to be pursuing job opportunities in order to collect his money.

It would be stupid to hire the guy a day before the first game.

Then why is his BFF wrecking that angle for him?ROFL

You lost me at hello.

Doesn't he have to make an attempt to find other employeement to get paid by Bowlen?

No.

TJ, how bad does it suck that your team only won a SB because of an ex-Raider cheater. I guess you guys can thank the Fade for your success.....oh, and cheating.

Shanahan was a Broncos coach before he went to the Raiders. Then he came back. Then he went to the 49ers, won a Superbowl with Steve Young, and then came back and won two Superbowls with us.

He coached like 4 games with the Raiders before Al fired him.

And say what you want about cheating. Doesn't matter to me what you think. I've stood a foot away from our two Superbowl trophies, and could see my reflection clearly in them.

Good.

I definitely do not want him in KC.

You know what the difference is between the Donks trophies and ours? We won ours fair and square without any hint of cheating. Yours will always have the tarnish of illegitimacy.

give it a break... they have two WC... there is no need to whine about it. I hope we are at the dawn to of the great era of Chiefs football...

I thought you were going to say that ours were won in the days of color photography.

But your meltdown over not actually getting Shanahan is noted.

No meltdown here. I could honestly give a shit less if he comes here or he doesn't. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to poke you in the eye a couple of times about your team. :evil:

As is your meltdown over the mere possibility that Shanahan may end up in KC.

LMAO








...






4321

You honestly think that those "pokes" are even remotely effective, and that I'm concerned that a couple of Chiefs fans are jealous of our Superbowl wins and call them illegitimate? *shrug*

If it makes you feel good, then go for it. But all I do is laugh. Nothing that you can say is going to take either of those seasons, and certainly not either of those days away from me.

It's cool that both of us have the most iconic coach of the Denver Broncos in our avatars.

Did you kill your site or something Taco?

I got a note that they're upgrading some of the connection hardware this weekend. Apparently it will be donw for an hour or so.

For someone who has ZERO INTEREST in whether Shanny is hired by the Chiefs, you sure have posted alot regarding the matter, that, by default makes you FOS.

Which means you obviously still miss him and apparently have some remorse about your team firing him and replacing him with a poor man's Shanahan?

Is that the message we are to take from this thread where you are in a frenzy trying to convince yourself Shanahan won't coach the Chiefs?

What's the over/under on a Taco suicide attempt if Shanahan signs? LMAO

Where did you get the idea that I have Zero Interest in whether Shanahan is hired by the Chiefs?

I have great interest in wherever Shanahan gets hired. I've been a fan of his since I was a kid, reading Elway talk in magazines and papers about how great he's been for his game.

For sure. I thought it was a stupid move.

Take the over. I'd just root a little for the Chiefs when they're not playing the Broncos. I'd, of course, root against you when you play the Broncos. But I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a fan of Shanahan.

Gee, comments like this from you...



"Shanahan will never be truly gone"

Why wouldn't TJ be interested? The Rat is very well liked by Denver fans, and reports are saying he might come to KC (a division rivalry)? Hell yes he should be interested, and any of us would be too.

It would be a big deal for fans of BOTH teams.

What's your guess as to how Bowlen is reacting to this circus? Would he be glad to be off the hook for some of the salary, or would he be terrified of having to play Shanahan twice a year?

It has nothing to do with Shannihan or the donks, its rabid fans hungry for whatever info is out there.

Basically in one breath, he states he could careless, then in the other he's states he's interested in the story. I find it a little ambigious is all.

To my credit, you're an easy guy to confuse.

Taco, you and your Planet lovers need to kiss and make up.

Here, I'll set the mood:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZG-VvlErJY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZG-VvlErJY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Days of glory??? Were you on the team or something? Or did it feel glorious on your couch?

And why F*** are you here if you don't care what Chiefs fans have to say? That's just about the only reason one would read the comments on a board dedicated to Chiefs fans.

I'm also wondering just how it is that Schefter "knows for a fact" that there hasn't been any contact between Shanarat and the Chiefs, yet Bob Gretz reported that a phone call between Shanarat and Gun took place the day before. Could it be that Schefter isn't quite as firmly in the inner sanctum as he thinks?

Gruden would be a perfect fit for the Denver Broncos in a couple of years. :D

If you were paying attention to the NFC, you would know that Gruden is not a Pioli type of guy.
