ESPN NEWS: Shanahan to KC?
 

Per the ticker...

Kansas City near deal with Mike Shanahan to be Chiefs HC.

your freakin kidding me

Shut the Hell up

YES!

Holy God almighty! Jack Harry was right

no ****in way!

KC close to a deal with Shannarat to replace Herman Edwards


per ESPN

That's what 810s saying, I'm not watching ESPN news so I can't verify.

Holy ****.

Oh, my.


Goodbye Shanarat, hello Mastermind.

Espn just said its the Rat. wow. lol

YAY!

Awesome!

it's all over ESPN news now

So it turns out that that "Okay gang" dude was on the money. amazing.

:eek:


frazod's head just exploded.

Let the rebuilding OFFICIALLY begin

I'll give him a chance to win me over, but ugh.

WPI vindicated

THis is most bizarre

how will we get over our intense hatred of this man?

I am behind this. Awesome.

****

I will be so pumped about this.

Holy. ****ing. Shit.

I'm thrilled.

Absolutely thrilled.

This is the best ****ing news the Chiefs have ever had.

WPI wasn't the "Okay gang" poster.

Schiefter(NFL Network) is shitting his pants

Good he is going to stick it to denver something ferce

I hate to say it, but yes.

Woo!

edit: I think some guys owe an apology to Garcia Bronco.

awwww shit. oh well

I'm am soooo giddy~!

And Jack Harry. And WPI.

I feel like a stranger in a strange land.

Bill Williamson on ESPN News:

Brilliant move by Hunt and Pioli.

Talked to someone on Wednesday that spoke with Shanahan, who had said that he wanted the "best position in the AFC West." Thought that was odd since KC was the only job that might become open.

Seems to think that SP and MS will make a good team.

Take a QB with #3 pick...

Just saw it on the ticker

I wonder what Horseface is thinking right now...
and Cutler...

I think it's a damn good move.

Yeah, he REALLY put his ass out there yesterday.

Like I said then, he'll probably claim it all came down AFTER he talked to the Rat.

Awesome! Love this move! I especially love it because my wife is a Broncos fan!

Absolutely great choice...

Props to Jack ****ing Harry really...

and OTWP thanks for stealing my thunder on the post!! :P I was just too slow

I'm going to have to learn to like it, I guess.

WPI reported over two weeks ago that Shanahan had third-party contact with the Chiefs.

ARE WE IN BIZZARO WORLD?!?!?!?!

An aggressive offense? Check

Someone who can develop QBs? Check

Someone who knows the AFC West? Check

Get over the Denver hatred, Mike Shanahan is a home run choice.

In the span of one month we've gone from Dictator Carl/Herm to Pioli/Mike Shanahan... that is like going from Janet Reno to Jessica Simpson

If this happens, one thing is for sure, our odds of winning for the first time in Invesco just got a lot higher, and we're not going to stop beating the Faiders...

THIS IS SO ****ING AWESOME

EVERYONE GET SHANAHAN IN YOUR AVATAR

:shake:

Poor, poor, Tim..... :(

So did a lot of places. It wasn't exactly a stretch to assume that we were in contact with him.

This is so ****ing awesome

The only real beauty of this will be Shanarat tormenting Taco John. :evil:

I really don't know how I feel about this. Lots of pros and cons.

I thought he needed to take a year off and recharge his batteries.

Maybe not having GM duties will be all the respite he needs.

This is awesome.

It's the Shanarat

The okay gang poster did it first.

Bullshit.

LMAO

Is this confirmed?

you will like it

Jamaal charles stock just went up in fantasy leagues

how soon will this be announced, if true, I wonder?

Not unless he figures out how to coach a defense.

I can't express how ****ing out of my mind happy I am at the moment. HOLY CRAP THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST OFF SEASON EVER!!!

Yep, there is no denying his coaching capabilities and game day managment!

Herm being fired is official.

Shanahan is not yet. ESPN News saying that Chiefs and Shanny are "near a deal."

Jack Harry calling Schefter out on 810...

Jack says this has been going on for weeks.

If you don't have your TV on ESPN News, I would turn it on. Sounds like this is going to be talked about in depth

The updated report on ESPN.com:

Edwards fired by Chiefs


KANSAS CITY -- Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards was fired Friday, a well-placed source told ESPN.

Edwards was 15-33 in three seasons with the Chiefs, including 2-14 this season.

The Chiefs have been in negotiations to land Mike Shanahan as their next coach and a deal is near, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Edwards' status has been in doubt since the Chiefs hired Scott Pioli as their general manager on Jan. 13. Asked at his introductory news conference about Edwards' status, Pioli declined to say.

He was 41-44 in five seasons as head coach of the New York Jets, including three trips to the playoffs.

Edwards came to Kansas City from the Jets and made the playoffs in his first season,w hen the team was 9-7. But he was under fire after the team finished 4-12 in 2007. Team management gave him its support, but expected a run at the playoffs. Instead, the team went 2-14, leaving Edwards' fate up in the air.

Jack isn't being an ass about it atleast, serious props for Jack

As much as it pains me to say this, he deserves to. Jack totally pwned Schef.

Unbelievable.

on a side note, a real benefit of hiring Shannarat is that he already has a working knowledge of our players from coaching against us.

when he was preparing for the game against us, who better to know which of our players suck and how they suck.

One of your best articles was about why Shanny would be a good fit in KC ... I wonder if LJ is going to be around ...

First Schefter says we're not getting Pioli, then he tried to squash all the Shanny rumors.

Pioli and Clark have owned his ass.

Schefter friggin' sucks.

ROFL

ho

lee

shit

I guess it's ok for maybe 3 years.

If this goes down, it was worth the 3rd we gave up to get Herm in order to clean house and end up with Pioli and Shanahan

This
Dont get me wrong I like the move .Damn the Rat is a Chief :eek:

true that has been his weakness. But im excited to see that we will have an offense again.

we'll see about the defense? Only time will tell. hopefully Pioli can be an outstanding GM and help him in that aspect of the team. it'll be interesting thats for sure.
