Football End of story: Shanahan is not taking Chief's job

Shanahan is not taking Chief's job

KANSAS CITY - Mike Shanahan may not have a new job after all. After reports surfaced the former Denver Broncos head coach was close to taking the top job with the Kansas City Chiefs, those reporting that have backtracked.

ESPN now reports only that the Chiefs are targeting Shanahan for their head coaching job after the team fired Herm Edwards on Friday. Initially, ESPN reported that a deal was near between the Chiefs and Shanahan.

Edwards was fired after going 15-34 in three seasons. He still had one year left in his original four-year, $12 million contract.

The NFL Network's Adam Schefter, who recently finished writing a book with Shanahan, maintains Shanahan will not be taking the job with the Chiefs and is not considering it.

"They are not near a deal. They are not near a deal right now, they were not near a deal yesterday, they will not be near a deal tomorrow. Mike Shanahan will not be the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs," Schefter told 9NEWS. "All the people in Denver can stop worrying or stop talking about it, it's not happening. I know there have been national reports to the other effect. I'm here to tell you just the opposite, it's not going to happen."

Schefter says he has spoken with Shanahan directly about it.

"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. I know for a fact they've not had contact to this point. The Chiefs may in fact reach out to him in the coming days and even then I firmly believe it will not change anything," Schefter said.

The Broncos have hired new head coach and former New England Patriots offense coordinator Josh McDaniels to replace Shanahan.

When he was fired, Shanahan still had three years left on his contract, worth about $20 million.

Even if right, it is hilarious watching the Broncos fans have little tantrums over this story. If the Shanahan thing never happens this has all been worth it.

Direckshun · 01-23-2009, 10:51 PM

Schefter is reporting that other people who disagree with him are wrong?

Doesn't seem like an "end of story" to me.

FringeNC · 01-23-2009, 10:51 PM

We know Schefter categorically denies the possibility; that is not news.

**CosmicPal** · 01-23-2009, 10:51 PM

Yeah, well I spoke personally with Adam Schefter after a few rounds of Leinenkugels at the Horse's Rear Inn, and it turns out that his real name is actually Adam Shifty.

Bill Cowher is looking for houses in KC.

What does this prove?

Is Schefter a mind-reader?

If he's spoken directly to him about it, why does he have to examine his tone or message? Wouldn't he flat out just say I'm not coaching the Chiefs?

Seems like a complete guess on Schefter's part, and just a complete re-hash of old information.

The fact that this slimeball is getting this worked up over it is ****ing hilarious. If he's so confident, why throw a hissy fit?

Not saying he is wrong, but didn't he say Pioli wasn't coming to KC, too?

Crush · 01-23-2009, 10:52 PM

Taco and Schefter are really flusterated.

BigChiefFan · 01-23-2009, 10:53 PM

Old news and Shefter isn't the end all and be all to whether or not Shanny signs, no matter how badly he wants it to be.
