Chiefs News - Head Coaches, Grocery Stores and Rooney Rule
Just doing a little catchup here on some Chiefs news.
If you have never been to a game this won’t mean as much to you, but the Kansas City Chiefs will now have Hy-Vee as it’s go to grocery store… so for all of us season ticket holders that means no more, “Chiefs and Chopper! Chiefs and Chopper!”
Chiefs switching supermarket sponsorship contract from Price Chopper to Hy-Vee - Kansas City Star
Say so long to “Chiefs and Chopper.”
After nearly three decades, the homegrown Price Chopper chain will no longer be the Kansas City Chiefs’ “official” grocery sponsor. Price Chopper said the Chiefs indicated that when the sponsorship contract ran out in March, Iowa-based Hy-Vee Food & Drug would take over.
Chiefs Head Coaching News:
Nothing really new as far as Chiefs head coaching news besides a ‘report’ (esp as of late, we all know how reliable some of these reports can be) out of Chicago saying that Cardinals OC Todd Haley is expected to interview with the Chiefs very soon.
Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley is expected to interview with the Kansas City Chiefs this week for their head coaching vacancy.
One part of this article that I find interesting is this:
One source said minority candidates have turned down interviews to fulfill the Rooney Rule because the prevailing feeling in league circles is that the job belongs to Haley.
If the Chiefs are unable to interview a minority candidate because they all believe the head coaching job is already spoken for, then what? Will the Chiefs be fined by the league or will they let it slide because they offered interviews and were turned down? If true, this could be very interesting to watch play out.
Well, that’s all for Chiefs news for now. Go Chiefs!

When the Lion’s hired Mariucci they didn’t comply with the “Rooney Rule” and were fined $200,000 by the league. Hardly a slap on the wrist for an NFL franchise. If they were taking away draft picks it’d be something to be worried about, but $200k? That seems like nothing to get who you want as coach.
Tell me what you're thinking...

Yeah, I agree Ryan. In NFL standards $200K is nothing really. But even so, if the Chiefs tried to interview a minority candidate and the candidate refused the interview is that the Chiefs fault?
