Musical Chairs with the Chiefs Head Coach Rumors

Wooh...it's been quite the emotional ride with these head coaching rumors, hasn't it?
Just three days ago, I laid out a post that compiled close to ten rumored head coaching candidates for the Kansas City Chiefs.
All of these were pure speculation, mostly based on a connection to Scott Pioli at some point prior in his career.
The only rumor that seemed to stand out from the rest was Jack Harry's Mike Shanahan rumor from yesterday. Harry said sources close to/within the Chiefs indicated that Mike Shanahan may be announced as the Kansas City Chiefs head coach as early as Friday. It was the only rumor that seemed to have at least tiny legs to it. Harry staked his reputation on this reporting rumor (at least in my eyes) but he was brutally rebuffed (movie line?) by Adam Schefter of NFL.com just a few hours ago.
Are you noticing a pattern? Rumors and speculation are hitting a feverish pitch, only to be completely voided a short time later.
Use this thread for some lighter Chiefs discussion until we can figure just what in the heck is going on.
I want you to know that we'll continue to speculate here at AP and label rumors as such. But for now, I'm beat and really have no idea what to think. Take a moment to take yourself out of the rumor frenzy and clear your head. Once the music stops, we'll see who's left standing.
This is what comes from living under a Pioli regime!

You should really get that checked out.

Well
Cowher bought a house in Loch Loyd. 24hrs. later it was sold to Haley and 24hrs. after that it went to Shanahan. It’s now on the market again and is being seen by Gruden after he took a barge up the Missouri to interview for the HC position.
You want some good info?
The info is this: The new HC of the Chiefs is at the Senior Bowl. There’s plenty of HC talent evaluating players and Pioli is there talking to folks. If they’re not at the Senior Bowl, they’re not going to be the HC so theres no point in even discussing them.
If you think Herm is staying, he’s been ordered not to interview any potential candidates for the open coaching positions on the staff. Ergo, he’s not going to be involved filling them.
The deadline is Saturday for an announcement. The NFL does not allow announcements the week of the SB, so if nothing is heard, it won’t happen until after the show.
Bill Parcell’s: "You are what your record says you are."
Thigpen WILL NOT be the Chiefs starting QB next year IMO. He can compete for the job and should be 2nd or 3rd string.

Harry will be on the radio defending himself...
I like Jack Harry, but he should know better. I can only assume his source was not someone he uses regualrly and thus should not be trusted. Where’s Michael Smith? Atleast he knows how to get down on his knees for Pioli.

I just cannot see a man put his reputation on the line in the broadcasting business
for a story unsubstantiated.
Then it jumped up and bit me….Dan Rather
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
Ok already, if you don't agree with what I am saying, just don't email my mom again. She beat the crap out of me with my keyboard!

I don't know if a guy like Rather
checked facts out himself, or had people who were supposed to check facts for him or what… All I know is he got hosed royally in that whole deal.
The Day Herm Edwards didn't get his team ready to beat the Raiders at Arrowhead is the day he kissed his job goodbye.
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn GOODBYYYEE!

and it kinda looks like Harry is getting hosed by
Adam Shefter. If he doesn’t provide more credibility to what he reported on tonights broadcast, then he is going to fall way down with the viewers and listeners.

yeah it does.
I dunno, I don’t really care, honestly. I see Harry more like Whitlock, an opinionist.

Turn on the way back when machine
What is now called the 1st Superbowl was actually the AFL – NFL World Championship, the real first Superbowl was Superbowl 3, the Chiefs/Packers game was simultaneously broadcast on NBC and CBS. Because CBS was still at commercial break during the 2nd half kick off, they made them kick a second time when CBS was ready. Also there is no footage of the game from either CBS or NBC, apparently they taped over the game for soap operas.
The two teams played with their respective footballs from each league- The Chiefs used the AFL ball by Spalding, the Packers played with the NFL ball by Wilson. The AFL had the final laugh on the field, however, as the AFL’s Chiefs won the final AFL-NFL Super Bowl.

Has anyone seen the names or pictures of any Chiefs staff
or front office people at the Senior Bowl? Is there any verification of this?

Is Herm at the senior bowl
Looks like Herm is staying put…Damnit..I mean really it does..Pioli has been here a week and a half..He’s staying unfortunantly..
I don’t believe Schefter has any real insight tho..Do you think Shanahan would actually tell him the truth if he was goin to become the chiefs next head coach..Obviously he wouldn’t get an answer from the chiefs either way..
Very confusing

Who was Rather reporting that was going to be
our coach?

My old man...
called today to tell me he had a conversation with Pioli at MCI. Perhabs Papa H2E will be the next coach.
On another note Papa H2E said that Pioli was very nice, wellspoken, and excited to talk to a season ticket holder. I got nothing but love for a man who takes pride in reaching out to his customers.

Flying into or out of?
Did he know where Pioli was headed or coming from? What gate was he standing in front of? How much wood, could a wood chuck – chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? Did he mention where Hoffa is buried?

The one rumor I like best is the Todd Haley Rumor. Young and up and coming coach, should not be as expensive as the big 3 coaches out there, plus being from the Parcells chain it does bode well with Parcells’ son-in-law. At this point Herm can not be coming back if he is not allowed to be filling in the vacant coaching spots. Come on Scott Pioli, say something, I know that is against your philosophies, but it would clear up some ambuigities.

Except JoCo’rs get to use all the amenities of a major metropolitan area, stadium, etc. drive out there, tailgate with all their JoCo’y groceries, leave their trash, fart up all that clean Jackson County Air, and generally jayhawk up the place, and then drive home to their golden roads.

Thats what Im saying
Johnson County has voted down every bistate tax to help fund the stadiums. We could have had a Super Bowl in KC! Can you imagine? JoCo doesnt throw down on anything but still gets to use all the amenities. Im just saying its time they start paying thier share.

IInS…we’ll call him I-salt, technically Ipsalt is right it wasn’t a bistate tax initiative, but that’s a cool idea, nevertheless the point was JoCo’rs still deserve our ire because the burden weighs that much heavier on those east of the line, buddy.

Didn't Adam Schefter say he was personal friends with Scott Pioli as well
I remember reading a article that said that Adam Schefter talked with Scott Pioli and said that he is going to sign with the Browns
But in other news from sports here said that Scot Pioli and the Browns did not have a very well interview and that Scot Pioli left town. Then a Monday came up and he was in Kansas City for a interview with the Chiefs and Clark Hunt after the Chiefs fired Carl Peterson
This Adam Schefter guy is a retard and just a bunch of garbage talker
