Schefter is a reporter. His credibility is at risk, along with the reputation of the NFL Network.

The NFL Network, have the right to surpress the information if they are truly interested in the risk to the brand and their name.

I would be shocked, if this story did not pan out. Then again, I have to remind myself, it is sports we're dealing with. Still, the quest for higher ratings depends on the consumers trusting the information.

Conspiracy theory - do you think the NFL wants a franchise bypassing the Rooney rule a few days after the first black President was elected? It would be terribly bad for their image.

ESPN reports it, NFL freaks out, Schefter is the cover up, Chiefs quickly interview a minority, then hire Shanahan (Schefter backtracked and said it was possible the Chiefs might talk to Shanahan in the future).
