CHIEFS HAVE COMPLIED WITH ROONEY RULE?
Posted by Mike Florio on February 4, 2009, 12:01 p.m.

As the Kansas City Chiefs continue to engage in one of the most secretive job searches in NFL history, some basic information has emerged regarding the process.

According to Nick Athan of Warpaint Illustrated, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt recently told a Kansas City radio station that the team has complied with the Rooney Rule, and that Hunt is “pleased” with the candidates who have been interviewed to date.

If, then, the Rooney Rule has been satisfied, the Chiefs are free to interview and hire Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley without interviewing now or in the future any futher minority candidates.

But it’s impossible to know whether Haley is the leading candidate without knowing who the other candidates might be.

And, apparently, we won’t know any of their names, since the Chiefs presumably told them that, if any of their names emerge during the process, the team will assume that the candidate whose name emerges is responsible for the leak — and that the candidate will be disqualified from consideration.

Guess what...Nick DECLINED to come on the air and talk Chiefs with Soren. Soren then implied listeners should that Nick's decision for what his info is worth.

That is hilarious. Nick has been exposed as a fraud....AGAIN.

What a pussy and good for Petro for calling him out.

That means that Haley is out along with everybody else we've discussed. Maybe we're hiring the Pillsbury Dough Boy. We could do worse, I guess. Heck of a blocker, that dough boy.

I always saw a resemblance.

That makes absolutely no sense.

This is exactly right.

There's little else to conclude from Athan turning down the request to go on the air. It would be great publicity for his website, unless, of course, Nick isn't confident in what he'd have to say...

Noooooo....that can't be it.....

Dude, Nick Athan is a joke.

Claythan has talent...I don't know why he associates that talent with Nick Athan...if Claythan ever wanted a career, he should distance himself from that hack ASAP.

So, WPI is basically like the Drudge Report for the Chiefs?

That's one filter that still makes me laugh.
