I think I would prefer someone younger (Bowles, Haley) only because Shanahan's record over the last 3 years is really not that much better than Herm's...24-24 compared to 15-33

If we get this asshole and don't at least go 10-6 NEXT yr. Then we should can his ass. **** Shanahan. He will have ZERO room for error.

According to my math that's an average of $3.2 million in salary for NFL Head Coaches. Take away the GM money for some of those guys and, it's exactly like I stated.

watching schlereth he sounded like at least in his mind shannahan will be coaching the chiefs (sorry if this has already been discussed)

he'll take less to do more work? Right...

The source is correct and Mort talked about that in his story about the Chiefs. The last 19 head coaches hired in the NFL have made between $2-3 million dollars

3.2 = 2.5
New math, I guess.

p.s. Who's #2 on that list? Just so I'm sure I'm not misreading it.

Of course, if you think he'll take the same salary as #16, so be it... I can't change your mind.

Yes, exactly, absolutely. You got it.

Because he will have the POWER...

I disagree with that. If Shanahan wants THE power, he won't be coaching in KC...if he wants to coach, he'll get paid a coaches salary...if he wants both, a team will have to offer him money for both positions...

Shanahan isn't going to do $7M work (coach and GM) for $5M just because he gets the "power"...

Here is the stat

Herm made $3m, not 4. He signed a 4 year, 12 mil deal anyway.

Again, some of those coaches aren't just being paid to be coaches and that HAS TO BE taken into consideration. $750,000 is on the low end for a GM, no? Well that's the difeerence in the numbers I posted. So yea, the numbers are right on the money.
There's also an article in this very THREAD that states EXACTLY what I said posted by another person, that states the average wage for NFL coaches.
Sorry, that you actually believe Shanahan will costs $8-9 million per year, but that's far from being accurate because he will be Head Coach ONLY and it doesn't cost that much, no matter how much you wish it so.

Holmgren still made $8 million - even after they took away the GM duties. :doh!:

When did you hear this?

Yep. If anyone thinks that the Chiefs are going to pay a HC $8-9 million a year they are smoking some good shit.

IMO the Chiefs won't pay over $4 million. Pioli is rumored to be making around $5 million so they won't be making that especially since Clark said the other day in the interview that he believes GM is more important than head coach.
