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.

That stuff has already started.

So if Shanahan had talked to the Chiefs (while Herm was still under contract and before the Chiefs had officially opened their search) do you think he'd tell that to a reporter? Of course he would deny that he had spoken to the Chiefs.

Taco, are you ready to go ahead and call it?

**DeezNutz** · 01-23-2009, 11:00 PM

All these end of story threads/posts/reports beg the obvious question: why hasn't Shanarat himself denied the rumors?

Everyone knows that you're the one who is Anton. You created that account so you could let a piece of you out of the closet. It probably felt pretty good to be free, even if it was just an "anonymous" account that you were moonlighting with..

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.

Right.

That's why you and your minions are over here trying to put out the flames.

Schefter made a ****ing ass out of himself on television because he's so sure that Shanahan won't be the Chiefs coach.

He does not have a direct quote from Shanahan, which you would think would be pretty easy for someone like him to get.

He says "I talk to Mike regularly" not "I talked to him today and he said he's not coaching the Chiefs".

Well he didn't just set the record straight, he screamed the record straight.
