Per ESPN News...we'll be updating this post with more info as it comes...
Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter are going head to head on this one with conflicting reports.
Per ESPN's Chris Mortensen:
The Chiefs have been in negotiations to land Mike Shanahan as their next coach and a deal is near, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Adam Schefter of the NFL Network says it's not Shanahan:
Despite reports running rampant that Kansas City is negotiating with former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan they are not, sources said Friday.
The Chiefs never have made any contact with Shahanan, never. And there have been no contract negotiations.
Schefter is a former Denver beat writer so this is something to keep an eye on.
Schefter says the Chiefs have Bill Cowher at the top of the list:
One NFL source said a name near or at the top of the Chiefs’ list is former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, who has been adamant that he will not coach this season. Still, the source said the Chiefs are interested in Cowher, though it’s uncertain whether they would be able to entice him to come out of retirement.
“On behalf of my family, I want to thank Herm for his service to the Chiefs,” Chiefs Chairman Clark Hunt said. “After careful deliberation over the last week, Scott and I decided that it was in the best interests of the Chiefs to move forward in a different direction.
“This was not an easy decision. Herm is an outstanding football coach and a man of integrity. We appreciate his leadership over the past three seasons, and we wish him all the best in the future.”
GM Scott Pioli:
“Since my arrival last week, Herm and I have had several conversations as part of my overall evaluation of the football operation. After careful consideration, Clark and I felt that it was best to make a change. What I conveyed last week in the press conference I still believe to be true – Herm is a great man and a tremendous football coach. He respects the game and the league, and he is passionate about his players and his craft.
“Over the course of this last week, I have also spent time meeting and visiting with most of the assistant coaches, and I will continue to do so over the next several days. All of the coaches from last year’s staff, with the exception of one, are under contract through the 2009 season.”
Herm Edwards:
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Hunt Family for the opportunity to spend nine seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs,” Edwards stated. “There is not a more gracious family in all of professional sports than the Hunts. To the players and coaches who worked so hard for our team, I appreciate their efforts. This is going to be a very good football team. I respect the tough decision that was made to move in a new direction. I wish the players and the organization the very best as they move forward.”

Jack Harry is s senile old*&^%
The angriest man is sports broadcasting has been spreading crapola rumors his entire pitiful career hoping maybe one of them would stick.
Jack needs to consider some serious anger management counseling and then retire. I haven’t seen the man crack a smile in 100 or so plus years of running his yap!!

This would indicate to me
That they have a guy lined up behind him. Probably won’t find out till after the Super Bowl. The NFL frowns on hiring or firing people Super Bowl week.

Our long national football league nightmare is over!
Herm should go coach in college somewhere, he’s more cut out for that. Good luck to him. Now we need to move on and get a great coach. Doesn’t need to be a big name, just the right guy for the job.

Can't announce a coaching hiring next week leading up to the SB
So does this mean we interviewed a Zona or PIT guy and liked him??

I Think This Probably Tilts The Odds Towards Haley Being The Hire
The Jets didn’t announce Rex Ryan until Baltimore was eliminated. I think at this point the Chiefs probably would have announced it if the candidate was available for press conferences.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
by UCrawford on Jan 23, 2009 4:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Well technically
As you know there is the Rooney Rule. They can’t have officially interviewed a minority candidate if the head coach has not been fired. So even if they already have an agreement with someone, like Shanahan, they couldn’t announce it.
But you could be right, SOMEONE in the Super Bowl (still could be someone with the Steelers) is just as likely a candidate as anyone.
by ChiefDJ on Jan 23, 2009 4:30 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Does it count
if Herm had to interview to keep the job? I heard someone ask that on 810 yesterday and Danny didn’t know.
Great job, Clark!!!
by chiefstatnut on Jan 23, 2009 4:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
No
It was discussed here and on profootballtalk.com and espn.com that you cannot qualify for the rooney rule by interviewing a current head coach who happens to be a minority. Every opening has to have a minority coach interview who is not the current head coach.

Now The Rumor Is That Shanahan's Been Hired
I haven’t got access to ESPN on TV, so I’ve got no clue. Didn’t see anything on ESPN.com.
Oh well…guessing what Pioli’s going to do next is a fool’s gambit. :)
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.

I think they have been talking to shanahan all along…They certainly have their candidate almost ready to go
by CALIFAN1986 on Jan 23, 2009 4:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I think you're right
Probably the same deal as with Pioli and Thum working out the power sharing, Pioili and Shanahan probably have to do the same thing so they can work together.

I'm Betting It's Haley
Judging from how the Jets handled the Rex Ryan situation (no announcement until after Baltimore was eliminated) I suspect that he’s the hire. After the team had waited this long to fire Edwards, I suspect that if the guy they wanted was available for a press conference they’d have announced him by now.
This of course presupposes that the Chiefs have their candidate locked down…but it’s a reasonable assumption based on how they went with Pioli.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.

I agree.
They would have announced if it wasn’t somebody in the Superbowl.

That would be great! Haley would be a great step forward from Herm. He could get our offense rolling even better than Chan.

And if Tony doesn’t get over it, then it’s not Shanahan who’s the problem here.

After looking at Shanahan’s wikipedia I found out that among active coaches he has the best record against Bill Biliciks Patriots…..5-2. Wow! He outcoached the “Genuis” 5 times out of 7.

Yeah, Shanahan has a good record against the Patriots. However, the Pats gave his team a good thrashing in their last game (with Matt Cassel at QB), so I’m not sure how long that success would hold up if they continued playing against each other.

Schefter v. Mortensen
Although I’d honestly love to say that Mortensen’s right, I’m not so sure. Schefter has never been wrong on a Broncos-related story. Ever. And Mortensen’s been wrong a lot lately. Not only that, but he’s also run with stories (a story regarding a sale of the Raiders in particular) where he had no valid verification and didn’t even try to confirm with the team. And Schefter took a very hardline stance that Shanahan isn’t a candidate.
If Mortensen ends up being wrong, I wonder if he could actually get fired?

One Of The Biggest Reasons He's On Point
Is because he works for the official network of the NFL. Mortensen may be citing “league sources” but Schefter’s got more access to league sources than Mortensen does and if he’s taking that strong of a position on the subject it makes me wonder if Mortensen basically published a rumor with little or no verification.
And like I said, Mortensen’s been wrong a lot lately…his incredibly arrogant comment about the Raiders story (where he said that asking the team to verify his info was a “privilege” for the Raiders) makes me wonder if the guy’s just lost it.

Schefter says no
I take his word over ESPN anyday

I tend to agree
Especially b/c of Schefter’s Denver ties.
by Joel Thorman on Jan 23, 2009 5:13 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
denver ties?
Shanahan is no longer part of their organization. How would they know? He does have a history of going to the competition to stick it to his old team no?

Schefter is a former Denver writer
He and Shanahan are personal friends.

I am guessing schefter is probably right
My money is still on Haley.

I'd Be Okay With That Too
Either way…doesn’t matter to me. I think they’re both great candidates.

Yet Another Reason I'm Leery Of Mort In This Case
When Schefter’s got a track record like that and Mort’s been screwing up a lot, I’m skeptical that he’s right in this situation.

What if Mort is wrong?
I mean he’s a senior writer but still this would be a huge screw up…

Especially For A Front Page Article
I’m seriously wondering if it could end up getting him fired if he is wrong. I think he might end up getting suspended at least, but his credibility would be absolutely shot.

Then he’s done.

Can't Say As It Would Shock Me
Frankly, I thought his remarks after the Raiders story were a fireable offense for a journalist. It should never be considered a “privilege” for a team to be given a chance to tell their side of the story. That’s Mortensen’s damn job to get that info, even if the team’s feeding him a line of bull.

Clarification
I think he could end up getting suspended if it turns out he went with a rumor.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.

naaa, its the Chiefs man
mainstream doesnt consider us newsworthy
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.

This Story Is Newsworthy
ESPN’s got it running at the top of their website. It’s a major story, and NFLN’s taking a hardline that ESPN got it wrong.

He makes stuff up though.
That, for a journalist, is really really bad. I haven’t believed him for a long time My money is on Schefter on this one.

I Don't Think He's A Fabricator
But I think his research habits have gotten really sloppy and fairly dishonest. Basically, I think he’s gotten lazy at his job.

That's what I meant...
Sort of. I still think Haley is a strong possibility. Shanahan rumor from Pioli to throw us all off until after the superbowl?

just so he could add the very last line.

HOLY SHIT
NOW Cowher is back in the mix?
Fuck daytime soaps, these ARE the days of our lives.
JUST IN….Shanahan and Cowher are fighting on the lawn at Loch Loyd to see who keeps the house :)

Ummmm
He works for the NFL…for their official station. His Broncos ties aside, he’s got more access to league sources than probably any reporter out there because of his current job.

Yeah, loved to hear him say that!
That’s definitely nice to hear he wants to stay a Chief! He just doesn’t want to start at Ground Zero again. Hell, neither do I!

I just find it odd that they could be having negotiations with Shanahan when the position just became open a few hours ago. You have to interview several candidates, including a minority candidate, and you usually hear who has interviewed for the job. I don’t believe we’ve heard about anybody interviewing for the job. I also think it kinda sucks that they let Herm twist in the wind like this when they could have just fired him shortly after Pioli took over and let him interview with other teams.
