ESPN NEWS: Shanahan to KC?

That statement I quoted was from the press conference where Shanahan's firing was announced, you understand. He already knew he was fired.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he wouldn't coach the Chiefs. I'm just saying he wouldn't go along with the scheme that ESPN reported that would have Bowlen paying most of his salary while coaching the Chiefs. There's no reason to do that other than pettiness - a sentiment totally foreign to those he has already expressed regarding Bowlen.
