Not surprised that Herm is gone, was just a matter of time. Interested to see where Shanahan goes now though. The two vacancies are still the Raiders and the Chiefs.

REPORT: CHIEFS NEAR DEAL WITH SHANAHAN
Posted by Mike Florio on January 23, 2009, 5:19 p.m.

On the same day that a former Broncos coach made a big stir by unexpectedly arising as a candidate for offensive coordinator in San Fran, another former Broncos coach is also potentially resurfacing in an unexpected place. On Thursday, we pointed out that there were increasing rumors and reports of the Chiefs possibly hiring former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan.

The rumors and reports were knocked down in various circles.

Now, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that the Chiefs are close to a deal with Shanahan.

Wow.

Unless the Soul Man exception indeed applies based on Shanahan’s spray tan, the move would necessarily mean that the Chiefs interviewed at least one minority candidate and possibly other non-minority candidates under one of the tightest lids that ever have been kept on a multi-candidate coaching search.Shanahan was unexpectedly fired by the Broncos in December after 14 years with the team.

If the deal goes through, the Chiefs will be the third AFC team that Shanahan has coached.Assuming he has no desire to run the show in Kansas City, it’s possible that the foundation has been laid for tremendous success.

After all, Shanahan the coach was always having to overachieve due to the screw-ups of Shanahan the G.M.

Wouldn't have to worry about the GM Shanahan screwing up this time. Now that Pioli is the GM in KC, no worries.

Kinda weird that Shanahan will coach his 3rd AFC West team isnt it?

Shanahan isn’t a candidate in Kansas City

Despite rampant reports that the Chiefs are negotiating with former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan to replace Herm Edwards, they are not, sources said Friday.

The Chiefs never have made any contact with Shanahan — never. And there have been no contract negotiations.

So unless people I have known for years are wrong, Shanahan will not be the next coach of the Chiefs. It’s not happening. People can keep talking as if it is, but it’s not. Shanahan will not be the coach of the Chiefs in 2009.

Or rather, the Cowboys should hurry up and fire Phillips so that Mort can assume Shannahan is getting hired in Dallas before we all find out he's full of shit.
