That was from the ESPN article - and is exactly the scenario I'm disputing (if you go back many pages). There is no reason Shanahan would go along with that. He doesn't owe the Hunts any salary relief, and he has no reason to screw Bowlen. |

... But that was the price for a head coach with a top reputation. Sorry.

If Shanahan doesn't coach this year Bowlen owes him $7 million dollars. If Shanahan coaches and gets a salary of $3.5 million Bowlen only owes him the other half which is $3.5. |

Seems in the sports world, breaking stories is becoming more important that getting to the truth. Only a third rate sports reporter would string a rumor along -- The sports reporter with integrity, would tell you that there's no confirmation to the rumor, but we're working to clear it up.
I have a feeling ESPN is looking for instant gratification -- Fired today, hired today. The first media outlet to move onto the next story. But, don't let facts get in the way of a feel good story. My guess, ESPN is sick and tired of being out-scooped by Jay Glazer and Adam S. (sp) Just my opinion. |

No. That's the price for a top coach who's also a GM. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Do I have to post everything twice?
But ultimately, most of his sentiments were saved for Bowlen. As he mentioned the owner's name, Shanahan had to pause more than once to collect himself. "It's tough because he's a great friend," he said. "He'll always be my great friend. The best owner in sports. I appreciate every opportunity he gave me to be successful. You have to make tough decisions in any organization, and Pat made a tough decision. . . . I've got no problem with it." |

I don't care about canned press conference statements.

That's not true. Bowlen is perfectly content to pay him the $7 million. Paying him to coach a competitor is an entirely different matter. I'm sure you can see that if you think about it a moment.

orange is clearly completely flustrated with the idea that Mike Shanahan might coach the Chiefs while the Broncos pay for it.
