This is a non-issue and BS story.

Schefter isn't going to run some bogus report just because he's buddies with Shanahan. I'm quite positive he wouldn't sacrifice his career for a coach who probably will never be a head coach again in the NFL.

If Schefter is reporting something, it's something from a legit source. Legit source being key here, and I doubt that source is any former coaches that have no knowledge on the situation.
