I spend most of my free time on here.

I just know that I wouldn't be over at the Mane refuting any potential rumor that had Marty Shottenheimer going to the Broncos after the 1999 season.

Well, Mort was just on Sports Center, backtracking completely off his earlier position and saying that the Rat is being targeted, but nothing more.

So, basically, we know nothing, other than Herm got whacked.

Which is definitely a good start.

Now, I'm going to watch Battlestar Galactica.

Bingo.

Bowlen didn't honor the contract.

The way you talk, Shanahan should have given Bowlen a discount to coach because of their friendship.
Wrong. Bowlen is honoring the contract. That's the whole point of this discussion. Shanahan will get his $7 million x 3 years.

Your guaranteed the PAY, not the work.

So you expect Shanahan to sit out 3 years because of friendship?

Wasn't there a head coach who took a pay cut
to bring in a coordinator he coveted
same thing could happen when the Rat takes a job

Again, I'm not saying Shanahan wouldn't come here. I'm just saying he's not coming here on the cheap.

That's what I'm gathering from his comments. That's why I keep saying BFF(best friends forever), because it's naive as shit to think that.

Again, he's making at least $7 million next year, regardless.

There have been probably half-a-dozen independent sources that have Shanahan coming to KC. Nothing definite, but so many rumors make me think it has a decent chance of happening. Mort was earlier reporting it was a done deal. The Chiefs had a vested interest (Rooney rule) in not having this info come out yet, hence the denials forcing Mort to back off.

Fair enough.

Clark's already shown that he's not gonna be running things "on the cheap".

The cheap move would have been to let both Carl and Herm ride it out for another season. Instead, he fired both. (ate the salary) And got the #1 GM candidate on the market.

Right. So the whole "offer Shanahan $3 million and let Bowlen eat the rest" scenario kind of rings false, doesn't it?

No. I expect him to demand as much as he can get and not take some insulting low-ball offer from the Chiefs just to stick it to Pat Bowlen.
