ESPN NEWS: Shanahan to KC?

[OnTheWarpath15]

Per the ticker...

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

[ChiefRon]

I think I would prefer someone younger (Bowles, Haley) only because Shanahan's record over the last 3 years is really not that much better than Herm's...24-24 compared to 15-33

[CHENZ A!]

If we get this asshole and don't at least go 10-6 NEXT yr. Then we should can his ass. **** Shanahan. He will have ZERO room for error.

[BigChiefFan]

According to my math that's an average of $3.2 million in salary for NFL Head Coaches. Take away the GM money for some of those guys and, it's exactly like I stated.

watching schlereth he sounded like at least in his mind shannahan will be coaching the chiefs (sorry if this has already been discussed)

he'll take less to do more work? Right...

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.

The source is correct and Mort talked about that in his story about the Chiefs. The last 19 head coaches hired in the NFL have made between $2-3 million dollars

3.2 = 2.5
New math, I guess.

p.s. Who's #2 on that list? Just so I'm sure I'm not misreading it.

Of course, if you think he'll take the same salary as #16, so be it... I can't change your mind.

I disagree with that. If Shanahan wants THE power, he won't be coaching in KC...if he wants to coach, he'll get paid a coaches salary...if he wants both, a team will have to offer him money for both positions...

Shanahan isn't going to do $7M work (coach and GM) for $5M just because he gets the "power"...

[dirk digler]

Here is the stat

However, a league source said that Hunt has focused on Shanahan after hiring Scott Pioli as the team's general manager. The source said Hunt did research on the last 19 coaches who have been hired in the NFL and determined their average salary to range between $2 million and $3 million, which would be an acceptable proposal by the NFL Management Council. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen would be obligated to pay the balance of Shanahan's three-year contract at approximately $6.5 million per year.

[Hammock Parties]

Herm made $3m, not 4. He signed a 4 year, 12 mil deal anyway.

Again, some of those coaches aren't just being paid to be coaches and that HAS TO BE taken into consideration. $750,000 is on the low end for a GM, no? Well that's the difeerence in the numbers I posted. So yea, the numbers are right on the money.
There's also an article in this very THREAD that states EXACTLY what I said posted by another person, that states the average wage for NFL coaches.
Sorry, that you actually believe Shanahan will costs $8-9 million per year, but that's far from being accurate because he will be Head Coach ONLY and it doesn't cost that much, no matter how much you wish it so.

Holmgren still made $8 million - even after they took away the GM duties.

Yep. If anyone thinks that the Chiefs are going to pay a HC $8-9 million a year they are smoking some good shit.

IMO the Chiefs won't pay over $4 million. Pioli is rumored to be making around $5 million so they won't be making that especially since Clark said the other day in the interview that he believes GM is more important than head coach.
