Kansas City near deal with Mike Shanahan to be Chiefs HC.

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.

If he went to Dallas, he'd probably ask for $9 million.

According to Sports Business Daily, the average annual salary for an NFL head coach is $2.5 million per year.

There's no reason to do that other than pettiness - a sentiment totally foreign to those he has already expressed regarding Bowlen.

(You would have to dig through several pages of this thread to get back to my original comment.)

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.

And Mike Shanahan is not an "average NFL head coach."

I'm not doubting you, but I do doubt the validity of that source.

Vermeil was earning $3.5 million per year; Herm $4 million per. I have a hard time believing that KC was paying well above market value.

Do you even know what AVERAGE means in this context? It means they take all of the coaches salaries and divide by 32 and come up with the AVERAGE annual income. Nobody ever said he was average-you've gone off the ****ing deep end.

I got it from Forbes.

So orange, by your rationale, the only way Shanahan would coach in KC is if the Chiefs are paying the majority of his salary? Bowlen owes him roughly $7 million a year. So, using your gorilla math strategy he will only coach in KC if he is paid $15 million a year so the Chiefs pick up the majority of his salary? That sounds reasonable.

You are right. He is below average.

It's clear that winning brings more pay, but does higher pay mean results? According to Sports Business Daily, the average annual salary for an NFL head coach is $2.5 million per year.

The one from 2003?

No, actually I think $8 or $9 million would do it. Less if he gets control of personnel decisions.

No it was more recent than that. I'll see if I can find it, again.
