Shanahan laughs off coaching rumors
So it looks like Adam Schefter was right… Well, he is at least confirming his side of the story. Seems pretty convincing to me.

Late Friday afternoon, when multiple reports surfaced that the Kansas City Chiefs and Mike Shanahan were close to a deal that would make him the team’s next head coach, the former Denver Broncos coach couldn’t be found. He was missing for a brief time, his cell phone going directly to voice mail.
Shanahan quickly found out the fuss he indirectly and unknowingly had created. When he walked off the golf course and into the clubhouse after playing 18 holes, multiple golfers asked Shanahan if it was true that he was closing in on a deal with the Chiefs.
Shanahan laughed. He had heard the rumors since Thursday morning, when members of his former coaching staff began calling to ask him if it were true that he was going to Kansas City.
Also, it looks like Shanahan doesn’t have much interesting in coming to the Chiefs either:
As Shanahan told the people in the golf clubhouse, there was nothing new Friday that hadn’t been true on Thursday. He hadn’t had any contact with the Chiefs, didn’t plan to have any contact with the Chiefs and wouldn’t be coaching the Chiefs.
Well, I must admit that while I am going to accept whoever Pioli hires (as stated when we hired Pioli I am going to trust him until he proves otherwise) I am not upset at all over this. Shanahan is a good coach, but over the last 10 years he has one playoff victory and I expect more than that from a ‘great coach’.
If there is some 180 degree turnaround and the Chiefs do end up hiring Shanahan I will be okay with it, but at the moment I am fine with this.
Also,Chris Mortensen lost a lot credibility regarding the Chiefs and the NFL as far as I am concerned.
