Chiefs Rumor from Shanahan's son - Page 10

Garcia Bronco · 01-22-2009, 09:12 AM

I talked to Kyle Shanahan last night, Mike's son. I ran into him at Cherry Creek Mall in the Oakley Store here in Denver. He said his dad is going to coach this year and most likely for the Chiefs. There is one other team out there that could land his Dad, but KC is closer to Denver and Shanahan would like to be as close to Colorado as possible. Anyway, take it for what it's worth.

Its going to take me a long time to accept this.....

Its kind of like hiring a rival Taliban Colonol to coach our Marines or something.

This is the same guy who brought that horrible Cleveland Dline to Denver.....greased jerseys....

It feels wrong. Like, another dude rubbing your back kinda wrong.

HERM OUT, SHANAHAN IN?

Posted by Mike Florio on January 22, 2009, 9:31 a.m.
As Chiefs coach Herm Edwards continues to slowly twist in the wind, we’re hearing stronger indications that he won’t be twisting much longer.
Though it’s hardly a surprise, the signs currently are pointing at Edwards being fired with one year left on his contract.

Then the question becomes identifying the next head coach. And, inexplicably, a name gaining traction via rumors and reports that have been sent to us by readers is former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan.

On the surface, Shanahan and G.M. Scott Pioli don’t really fit, assuming that Shanahan aspires to run the show in the same way he ran it in Denver.

But there’s always a chance that Shanahan has reflected on his ultimate failure in Denver, and that he has realized that his errors in personnel, both with free agency and the draft, placed far more pressure on him as a coach. And maybe he has decided that he’d rather let an established personnel exec call the shots and just focus on coaching the team.

Then again, maybe Shanahan simply will say whatever he has to say and do whatever he has to do to get his foot in the door, and then he’ll worry about trying to take the place over.

Regardless, we expect something to start happening soon in Kansas City.

Shanahan is not the coach to lead a young team, all this talk is just BS until we hear it form 1 Arrowhead Dr. If Herm was going to be fired he would have been gone from the start.

So what is your explanation for why all of his assistants are leaving?

Hammock Parties · 01-22-2009, 10:58 AM

Okay gang, as many of you know I still have friends at the highest level in the Chiefs organization and have this info to share with full confidence: Mike Shanahan is the new HC. His announcement will come Thursday or Friday at the latest. Pioli and Shanahan are working out the finer points of his contract tonight, but the deal is sealed. Also, Pioli informed Herm Edwards and his remaining coaching staff that they will be released. All assistants can reapply through Shanahan.

I only share this information because I'm no longer with the team and it's fun to share that a new day is dawning at Arrowhead. Mike Shanahan will quickly move to clean out the offices and hire new coordinators.

The only info I have on the new defensive coordinator is it will not be Greg Robinson. Greg coaches in college and does not want to leave a place where he can hide his idiocy.

Mike Shanahan has contacted Romeo Crennel, but I don't know any info beyond that.

How would Herm be able to replace them with one year left on his contract?

Yea, Clady, Royal, Cutler, Hillis, etc. all sucked ass as ROOKIES under Shanahan, right?

You're argument is full of holes I can't help but laugh at it.
