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.

Specifically, Schefter is reporting that he talked to Shanahan directly about it, and the other people are wrong.

Meanwhile, ESPN is backpedaling on their report.

I'm not sure but I think he said, no way no how to Pioli coming to KC.

Oh man, it will be downright hilarious if it happens now.

""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."

Gee, what sound reporting all based on his tone.

TJ and Schefter (both of whom suffer from Napoleonic Syndrome) met in a romantic Larimer Square restaurant some time ago....and consummated a clandestine relationship, that is now put to the test.

Will TJ's forbidden lover be "correct," or is he simply another misguided and myopic Donkey fan who simply cannot fathom the specter of Shanny becoming the HC of their AFC West nemesis?

Only time, and perhaps Oprah or Montel, will tell....stay tuned!!!

Heh.

If he's spoken directly to him about it, why does he have to examine his tone or message? Wouldn't he flat out just say I'm not coaching the Chiefs?

Seems like a complete guess on Schefter's part, and just a complete re-hash of old information.

The fact that this slimeball is getting this worked up over it is ****ing hilarious. If he's so confident, why throw a hissy fit?

It looks to me like you're the one throwing a hissy fit. Schefter is merely reporting that he's talked to Shanahan directly, and that Shanahan denies the reports are true. Further, based on his twenty year relationship with Shanahan, Schefter indicates that nothing in his tone or manner indicates to him that he's hiding anything.

Schefter sets the record straight, and you throw a hissy fit and claim that it's Schefter who is throwing the hissy fit. That's just strange.

I think this Schefter guy just likes to hear his own name getting mentioned. I remember watching the NFL channel and every story on the ticker began with "Adam Schefter of the NFL Channel reports...."

Like DUH!

I'm sure Turk and Tank can get to the Old Country Buffet just fine without Shanny.
