Chiefs Rumor from Shanahan's son - Page 14

Garcia Bronco · 01-22-2009, 09:12 AM

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 didn't come from profootballtalk, so it can't be valid.

And he still did WORSE than other first year coaches. Herm is done and no we don't trust in him.

Why is this so difficult for so many to understand?

I am curious how the heck they'd announce Shanarat in a couple of days if they haven't interviewed anyone under the Rooney Rule. Unless they sat Jon Embree or someone down to do that, or held secretive interviews behind the scenes with someone else out there, I don't see how they could move so quickly to bring Shanarat in. Which gives me even more reason to doubt Shanarat is coming here anytime soon...

Herm's issue IMO is not in the theory of rebuilding a team with young guys, it is in the way he's gone about doing it...

Agree 110% ....in the end, Herm just doesn't know HOW to rebuild. He only knows how to take an already established team and ride them into the ground.

If memory serves me right, Chad Pennington was a young impressionable QB when he took over the Jets and the best trait Herm has is that he is a great leader, the man has a niche for leading young and old. That's why he gets the label of a players coach. Name me one team that lost badly last year where the players were all in favor of their coach returning. One thing struck me by surprise when Tony G. came out in support for Herm in a big way and from what I understand about Tony is that he tells it like it truly is. Herm has the full support of his players and to me that's all that matters.

Hello? Just a few weeks ago, the same type of thing took place when looking for a GM.

6-26. Having your players like you doesn't win football games. Herm blows. Deal with it

The fine is only $200,000, and you're firing a black coach to hire the most qualified coach in all of football available.

It would be easy to appeal.

How the **** can you be a great leader when your team doesn't win games? The only leading that is, is leading them to the slaughter. Herm is a putz and his head coaching skills are awful. Good riddance to him and all his excuse-making supporters.

Apparently you don't realize that many of these same players whose "full support" Herm has (according to you) won't be with the Chiefs in 2009 after Pioli scrubs the roster clean.

That's something I'd totally anticipate Jerry Jones to be OK with, but Clark Hunt is going to do what his father would do and what the Hunt family has always done and follow the guidelines set by the NFL...

SCHEFTER: SHANAHAN WON’T LAND IN KANSAS CITY
Posted by Mike Florio on January 22, 2009, 12:25 p.m.
In response to rapidly-spreading rumors (we might have had something to do with that) regarding the possibility of a former Broncos and Raiders coach landing with their common rivals in Kansas City, Adam Schefter of NFLN says that there’s no truth whatsoever to the reports/rumors/rumblings/scuttlebutt that Mike Shanahan will be the next coach of the Chiefs.

Per Schefter, the Chiefs and Shanahan have had no contact as of mid-day Thursday.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that there won’t be contact if/when Herm Edwards is fired. We assume that the Chiefs are spending more time deciding whether to keep Herm than they are lining up his potential replacement.

Especially in light of the Rooney Rule.

Unless Shanahan’s spray tan falls within the scope of the Soul Man exception, he can’t be hired until after Edwards is fired and at least one minority candidate is interviewed.

Just remember, Joe Bugel also had the full support of his Raiders players and they responded by going 4-12. Players normally give a coach they know and like full support because they know said coach isn't going to come in and try to weed them out, the coach brought them in and will stick with them. New coach comes in, and he is going to get rid of a lot of the players, and he is going to ride them hard in training camp to see what they have. So from a player perspective, it's much easier to get a paycheck with a guy who you know...
