KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Herm Edwards, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs during the worst two-year span in team history, was fired Friday

Edwards goes out with a three-year regular-season record of 15-33 and with one year remaining on a four-year, $12 million contract. As head coach of the New York Jets from 2001-05, he had a regular-season mark of 39-41 and was 2-3 in the playoffs.

I kinda saw this one coming. Waiting to get a new GM for that long followed by him taking his time to fire Edwards, will make it hard for the new HC to get his coaching staff together, I guess.

Edit: Added Rock's original subtitle back in, as well as "Mystery Candidate" option. --NSD

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards was fired Friday. And former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan could be in the mix to replace him.

Edwards was 15-34 in three seasons with the Chiefs, including 2-14 this season. He had one year remaining on his original four-year, $12 million contract.

"On behalf of my family, I want to thank Herm for his service to the Chiefs," Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in a team statement. "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."

The Chiefs have discussed Shanahan as a replacement for Edwards, but a Chiefs official said Friday night that although he wouldn't rule it out, he does not believe Shanahan will be the team's next coach.

Earlier Friday, a league source said the Chiefs were nearing a deal with Shanahan, but that source and other league sources later said the Chiefs had not negotiated with Shanahan.

If you watch the video on that link, Mortensen says that it's likely Shanahan is NOT in line to be the coach.

I am so sorry, Rock! I thought I had remembered seeing a thread about it, but for some reason I didn't find it. I have merged them as you requested.

Doesn't matter, it wasn't wildly popular anyway. :p

One of the things that I'm wondering about is if this coach will start Thigpen, go back to Croyle (Which is hopeloss) or go for an entirely new QB.

I would give Tyler a shot, he seemed to have some potential. Get the kid an O-line and with the current receiving core, they'll have a high scoring offense in no-time.

I think the team needs a defensive-minded coach, just so he can draft a team together on the defensive side. They had some nice picks there already last year, so if they turn out like they should and get some extra guys, they'll soon be a contender.

Zero2Cool (4h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (8h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (8h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (9h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (9h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (9h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (9h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (9h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (9h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (9h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (9h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (10h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (10h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (12h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (12h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (12h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
