End of story: Shanahan is not taking Chief's job

And of course the Rat isn't going to tell Adam the Gnome anything if it is supposed to be hushed up for now.

Add in Garcia's story (assuming he wasn't just screwing with us)....

Hell, Schefter may have just been doing Shanny's dirty work for him.

Where's BRC's source when you need him/her?

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!!!

Can someone fill me in on this Crennel talk? Where did the "Crennel as DC" rumor come from?

Pioli was in the FO of the Pats, when Crennel was DC of the Pats...during their first two SB runs.

Rumor? Duh....

Makes sense if you think about it. (Don't mean it's true, but it makes sense.)

Fair point and something I hadn't realized. Thank you.

Strange observations:

Maybe Pioli did exactly as he said he would do, talk to Edwards and Clark about it until he made a decision. Everyone else has been sure he was making a deal with someone or negotiating. Maybe not, and that would explain what they're saying about Shanahan now --there has been nothing. That would also explain matters with Haley --he's not going to be negotiating with anyone while in the middle of preparing his team for the SB.

Now Pioli has made his decision, and now he has an opening for HC. If Haley really is a candidate you're still not going to see Pioli talking to him until after the SB --the longer we wait now, the likelihood that Haley is it increases. But if someone spots Shanahan in talks with KC now that Herm is gone, look out! I don't care what Schefter says, these guys do play it close to the vest, and no one necessarily knows what the other is doing. Media wants to scoop the story. These coaches and execs want to control it.

I still think Shanahan would take less money from the Chiefs to just run the sidelines in the right situation (read: Pioli-led operation) and cause some mayhem in the AFC West.

Precisely! Shanny knows the opponents and he knows he is in a weak-ass division and could conceivably win this next yr.

Too bad such an ass has to tarnish the credibility of the obvious...
