Rumor from Shanahan's son

[DaWolf]

Here it is officially from Schefter:

Nearly a month after the season, the Chiefs still have not made a coaching change. Mike Shanahan still does not have a job.

Thus, in the past 24 hours, like a virus that has spread, some have concluded that Kansas City is pursuing Shanahan and he could be the Chiefs next head coach.

Time to squash that rumor. As of mid-day Thursday, the Chiefs and Shanahan have not had any contact. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

And yet within the past hour, I’ve gotten a half-dozen calls and emails from various Kansas City and Denver media outlets, asking if there is any truth to the rumor that the Chiefs and Shanahan are talking.

No, there is not. There is no truth to the rumor. Chiefs officials are at the Senior Bowl and Shanahan just finished a morning run on the treadmill.

The Chiefs coaching mystery continues — minus Shanahan.

Well, he's definitely put his ass out there. He's gonna look really bad if the Rat suddenly gets hired, although I guess he could cover himself by saying "It all came together AFTER I posted that ..."

Pretty definitive, though. Do we believe Schefter with his Denver connection, or Garcia Bronco with his alleged Kyle Shanahan encounter?

Just out of curiosity, but shouldn't Kyle be in either Houston or at the Senior Bowl? Not questioning the truthfulness of Garcia, but unless he knows the guy intimately and for some reason the Texans OC was in a Denver mall just hanging out and willing to spill the beans on his dad to a fan, who knows?

Because Pioli is going to let Schefter or anyone else know what he is doing. Just like some of the current coaches have stated they have been told they would be fired if they leaked anything maybe Pioli told the Rat that if he leaked anything the deal was off.
