Rumor from Shanahan's son
 

I talked to Kyle Shanahan last night, Mike's son. I ran into him at Cherry Creek Mall in the Oakley Store here in Denver. He said his dad is going to coach this year and most likely for the Chiefs. There is one other team out there that could land his Dad, but KC is closer to Denver and Shanahan would like to be as close to Colorado as possible. Anyway, take it for what it's worth.

It seems like the level of "smoke" is picking up on this one. :hmmm:

blows my mind

I thought he was the OC in Houston?

You forgot the "Okay gang".

Ban him for putting out crud.

I guess I'd better start working myself into the acceptance phase.

Oh NOES!!!!! no link!!!!! People are gonna get mad.

I did ask him about living in Houston, he said it was okay, but I could tell he didn't like it as much as Colorado. He said he'd like to coach the Broncos one day, maybe.

His post count is too high......

So what the hell is Kyle doing in Denver? Vacationing?

same here...if true, it's going to take some getting used to.
sec

Not questioning your info but just wanting a little background. Why would he tell you that? You know him on a personal level?

He didn't say and I didn't ask. I assume he's looking out for the 30 million dollar mansion his dad is building, but I could be wrong.

Because I asked, I guess. He probably saw the crushed look on my face when I asked him.

Hey Gang!
Just got an email from my bro-in-law.. says Denver sports radio is reporting that we will know within the hour if the rat will take the job.

Ride the light.

Btw, was he purchasing some new sunglasses?

It's definitely gaining steam.

I think he had a shirt in his hands. I didn't really pay attention.

Reverse mojo?

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done."

Yeah, I need to memorize this for when I get laid.

If this is true, it'll be the right-on-est ridiculed email post in history....

Now....THAT is a source!

And the lord said "Let there be defense", but there was no defense.

I'm gonna go ahead and call it...

:)

This will excite DCS.

ROFL

Okay gang...... JK ROFL

Oh well :shrug: If it does happen hope Shannahan and Pioli can work well together. But the guy still looks like a damn rat. Hey Garcia Bronco, does Kyle look like a rat too? :D

Shit

More like this:

He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Being tempted by his lies
He's the knife in your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My head's spinnin' round and round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and


Shout shout shout
Shout at the devil
Shout shout shout

wow, never would of thought 6 months ago this would even be a scenario and it's now a probability....so are they goign to announce this with herm?

very "hey gang"-ish...but i hope it's true

Good luck, man. I don't think I'll ever get there.

Shouldn't he be at the Senior Bowl? Just a thought. Also, I am too poor to even walk in the Cherry Creek Mall. You must have some money Bronco. :eek:

If it is happening then I guess Shannahan wasn't as close of a friend to Bowlen as he thought. ROFL

Epic battles with the Faiders and donkeys are back fellas!! :clap:

I need Whitlock's opinion before jumping to the dark side

This is classic.

If Shanny really is willing to fully concede personnel decisions to Pioli, this franchise is heading back to the top in a hurry.

Look at the upside, we already have a smilie for him on here... :D

Again, I don't see how Shanahan could be coming here so soon before we even interview a minority candidate to meet the requirements for the Rooney Rule.

I wanted to ask Kyle about this, but it just seemed over the line.

Maybe they already did, or maybe they decided they didn't care about the rule.

"It is accomplished! It is accomplished."

with things so quiet, who says they haven't. They interviewed several GMs that we didn't know about.

you have no idea what has happened

do you really think Pioli isn't aware of this and acting accordingly?

The Rooney rule doesn't have to be followed. There might be a fine involved, but it's not required like a law. It's more of a guide line.

ROFL

Again, no one has any idea if interviewing Herm for the chance to keep his current job counts for the Rooney Rule.

Worst case, we could say F it and pay the damn fine. This is not a sticking point.

Just don't understand if Pioli is for sure hiring someone why he won't fire Herm already

And how many GM interviews did we know about?

I like that part.

pioli reinterviewed herm.

They could have "interviewed" Herm, or they could just choose to pay the fine. 2 years ago, the Lions didn't interview a minority candidate, and paid $200,000.

Chiefs GM Scott Pioli's meetings with current coach Herm Edwards will not satisfy the Rooney Rule, according to NFL.com's Adam Schefter.

The part that bothers me is the, one other team that might land him. The only other team left is Oakland?

What if Herm is our new defensive coordinator? Shannahan and Herm working together for better or worse. :evil:

Okay I'll stop now. :(

I second that statement. This has got be a BS. The mall? Whatever

There's a guy on one of the Broncos' forums telling this as well. He's getting blasted by the Donk fans who say there's no way that Shanahan would ever go to K.C.
Here's his post:
Shanahan Accepts Kansas City Chiefs HC position!!!!!!
I know some people in some high areas in denver with the denver broncos. Shanahan told a friend that he has accepted the head coaching position with the Kansas City Chiefs!!! Expect an announcement in about 48 hrs. I told myself i would be a pt fan of his new team but not anymore!

Link: http://forums.denverbroncos.com/showthread.php?t=133593

why is everything always 48hrs away? [/Seinfeld]

I'm, uh, fairly confident that Rat won't be going there.

the donk fans that entertain the idea say... the reasons Shanny would go are
(1) Thigpen: Shanahan would do wonders with this kid
(2) Jamaal Charles: same thing..

doesn't count.

Can he teach the kid accuracy?

Thigpen couldnt fall off a camel and hit sand most of the time...

Your right, Herm doesnt count... You have to interview people qualified for the position...

That automatically dismisses Herm...

ROFLROFL

I would hate that. Say what you will but if KC gets Shanny it won't be long before you realize how much you like how he runs your program,
You may never get to saying you like him but you will be glad you have him.
Shit.

It's already been reported, I believe by Adam Schefter, that interviewing him wouldn't count.

I just wasn't aware that you could interview head coach candidates while you still had a head coach in place.

Well...at least he is familiar with our division.

...not really a fan of leftovers tho. :spock:

Sounds like someone just took a huge dump (while on the throne).

Quite a few actually, and we didn't still have a GM in place when those interviews were going on. As far as we all know we still have a head coach in place.

...yup.

Say what? We didn't hear about any of them for sure.

It seems perfectly logical. Why would you fire someone without knowing who his replacement would be?

Exactly, which makes me question the legitimacy of the whole post.

Yeah, I figured out your meaning after I posted. Sorry. I agree with you. Unless somebody who hasn't fired their coach yet will just to get Rat (Dallas?).

So Cowher bought that Kansas house for Shanny. :hmmm:

Uhhh what makes you so sure that Herm is still the coach? He could have been fired last week. They don't have to announce firings publically when it happens. Especially when the head coach that was fired has $4 million reasons to stay quiet about it.

I say too good to be true...

Shanahan and Pioli?! Holy wow...at least we won't have to bitch about gameday coaching anymore!

only after Parcells made the call to the realtor.
