Apparently so was WPI.

Peter King repeating Schefter's report makes me think it's all the more likely that Schefter is wrong.

Mr. Laz · 01-24-2009, 12:08 PM

now i'm really torn

my desire to see shefter and King look like asshats and also the Chiefs getting a quality head coach

vs

my desire to see Goatboy/WPI exposed for the school yard hacks that they really are

meh ..... getting a good coach has is more important. i can always start putting all the WPI fanboys on iggy if needed

But he wouldn't INSIST so forcefully if he was not sure. It's a matter of credibility and possibly even his job.

I would just like to clarify that WPI did NOT report that a decision was coming on Shanahan.

The denials are too strong though. I'm not convinced that there is no possibility of it now.

Exactly.

And when it all comes out, I'm thinking both sides are going to be vindicated to some degree.

I'd bet anything that Shanahan has at least SPOKEN to the Chiefs at some point in the past 2 weeks. There's been way too much smoke over that time period for there not to be some truth to it.

Schefter is saying there has been NO contact.

However, Mort did say that they were nearing a deal, and I think that's bullshit.

Regardless, at this point, there won't be any news for over a week.

For the sake of transparency, why don't you recount the official WPI position on the HC situation?

Clay,

Can you link me to your article/post that summarizes your thoughts: Why Mike Shanahan is the right coach to lead this team.

TIA

Well you did ignore (or didn't see) my last request for your definite position on the Shanahan hiring. What can you tell us that we can verify when this is all over?

There's no real news that has come out in the last 24 hours. What you all know now - what ESPN reported - is what I've known for weeks now. That the Chiefs were targeting Shanahan and have had contact with him.

My PERSONAL position, which has nothing to do with WPI, is that it's going to happen. That's just my take.

Fair enough. So it's just a gut feeling based on this info that you had, or do you know something that we don't know?
