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

I am having a really hard time believing that Pioli fired Herm without having a fairly firm option to replace him. He wasn't going to fire Herm and then hope there was a viable option out there. I think the reason it took so long to fire Herm was because Pioli was going to keep him if he didn't find a replacement. They still have to go through the motions of giving interviews for the Rooney Rule but I think they have their man already.

I don't know if that is Shanahan or Cowher or what but there is an awful lot of smoke around the Rat rumors.
