End of story: Shanahan is not taking Chief's job
Shanahan is not taking Chief's job
KANSAS CITY - Mike Shanahan may not have a new job after all. After reports surfaced the former Denver Broncos head coach was close to taking the top job with the Kansas City Chiefs, those reporting that have backtracked. ESPN now reports only that the Chiefs are targeting Shanahan for their head coaching job after the team fired Herm Edwards on Friday. Initially, ESPN reported that a deal was near between the Chiefs and Shanahan. Edwards was fired after going 15-34 in three seasons. He still had one year left in his original four-year, $12 million contract. The NFL Network's Adam Schefter, who recently finished writing a book with Shanahan, maintains Shanahan will not be taking the job with the Chiefs and is not considering it. "They are not near a deal. They are not near a deal right now, they were not near a deal yesterday, they will not be near a deal tomorrow. Mike Shanahan will not be the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs," Schefter told 9NEWS. "All the people in Denver can stop worrying or stop talking about it, it's not happening. I know there have been national reports to the other effect. I'm here to tell you just the opposite, it's not going to happen." Schefter says he has spoken with Shanahan directly about it. "I speak to Mike regularly, there has been nothing in his tone or in his message that has given me any indication that he will be the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. I know for a fact they've not had contact to this point. The Chiefs may in fact reach out to him in the coming days and even then I firmly believe it will not change anything," Schefter said. The Broncos have hired new head coach and former New England Patriots offense coordinator Josh McDaniels to replace Shanahan. When he was fired, Shanahan still had three years left on his contract, worth about $20 million. http://www.9news.com/sports/article....8396&catid=345 |

Is that the message we are to take from this thread where you are in a frenzy trying to convince yourself Shanahan won't coach the Chiefs? |

Where did you get the idea that I have Zero Interest in whether Shanahan is hired by the Chiefs? I have great interest in wherever Shanahan gets hired. I've been a fan of his since I was a kid, reading Elway talk in magazines and papers about how great he's been for his game. |

Take the over. I'd just root a little for the Chiefs when they're not playing the Broncos. I'd, of course, root against you when you play the Broncos. But I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a fan of Shanahan. |

Why wouldn't TJ be interested? The Rat is very well liked by Denver fans, and reports are saying he might come to KC (a division rivalry)? Hell yes he should be interested, and any of us would be too.
It would be a big deal for fans of BOTH teams.

What's your guess as to how Bowlen is reacting to this circus? Would he be glad to be off the hook for some of the salary, or would he be terrified of having to play Shanahan twice a year?

It has nothing to do with Shannihan or the donks, its rabid fans hungry for whatever info is out there.

Basically in one breath, he states he could careless, then in the other he's states he's interested in the story. I find it a little ambigious is all.

And why F*** are you here if you don't care what Chiefs fans have to say? That's just about the only reason one would read the comments on a board dedicated to Chiefs fans. |

I'm also wondering just how it is that Schefter "knows for a fact" that there hasn't been any contact between Shanarat and the Chiefs, yet Bob Gretz reported that a phone call between Shanarat and Gun took place the day before. Could it be that Schefter isn't quite as firmly in the inner sanctum as he thinks?
