Wanting and having offers to be GM are two different things. What I said makes perfect sense.

He would only have ONE ROLE as HEAD COACH, not TWO ROLES as GM AND HEAD COACH. One is LESS THAN TWO-simple ****ing math and simple logic.

But that's not the job he wants. Get it? Unless you think he's desperate to get the Chiefs job...

Climb down off the ledge orange. You rationale is becoming skewed by your hatred of the Chiefs. It seems fairly obvious that NO line of reasoning could possibly convince you he would come to KC. I am not sold yet that he will be the HC, but it is a distinct possibility.

Dream on, dude!

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.

I also don't hate the Chiefs, but I'm not going to dig back through nine years of posts to show you - just take my word for it.

I find it interesting that most Broncos fans approved of Bowlen' decision to let Shanahan go. Did the fans question why Shanahan was fired abruptly? Do you think Shanahan was asked to give up GM duties? When he refused, Bowlen let him go?

TIA

I think it was time for a change. After the three-game collapse and all.

I was personally surprised by the firing - only because I expected Shanahan to resign.

And... there has been a constant drumbeat on local radio/media for making Shanahan give up personnel control for years. The failure of Moss and Crowder this year brought it to a crescendo.

Money that is not spent on Shanaha's salary can be spent on signing bonuses. Gives the rat a competitive advantage. Business, not personal.
