Lost amid all the season-ending talk and Black Monday is a tidbit in Sam Mellinger's Monday morning column that a Kansas City Chiefs source tells him Josh McDaniels has not and will not interview for the head coaching job in Kansas City.

But that doesn't mean he won't interview for the Chiefs offensive coordinator job. Maybe. No one right now is reporting that McDaniels will interview with the Chiefs because, well, he's still under contract with the St. Louis Rams.

Steve Spagnuolo and the Rams coaching staff was fired on Monday but McDaniels was not part of that group, Tony Softli of ESPN 101 reports. McDaniels remains under contract.

It's possible (if not likely) a new head coach comes in sends McDaniels packing but for now he's still with the Rams.

So if the Rams don't let him go then he obviously won't be coming to the Chiefs. If they do let him go...well, there are plenty of people who have said they won't be surprised if he ultimately ends up in KC.
