Black Monday: NFL Coaches and Executives Carousel

I think Hunt is trying to force Pioli to resign. Maybe it's a money thing why he won't fire him?

I heard from some pretty reliable people that after Sunday's game Hubt asked Manning why he didn't consider the Chiefs. And Manning supposedly told him he wanted no part of an organization where Pioli was in charge. I don't know why he said that, but that's pretty damning. Manning's rejection is allegedly a big reason the Titans let Mike Reinfeldt go as well

Not sure if I had posted this earlier last year, but hearing about this theatrics in this article, I can see why Manning said what he said.

I wouldn't work for the guy either. If people haven't read the article above, I suggest you all do so. Amazing piece and a incredible insight behind the scenes.


Thanks for the scoop Smoot!

Thats interesting. I wonder if thats spite from Manning for Pioli building good NE teams that beat manning a lot.


Speaking of Manning Smoot, I know it was a long time ago (maybe you answered this alread) but how serious was Manning into joining us? I remember hearing from Peter King (or someone in SI) that Manning was out to dinner with Elway and Elway said that the Skins had just traded up to get RG3 and Manning was in complete shock; a reaction almost as if he had really wanted to come here.

To your first point, I think it's more than that. But may have played a part

To your second, I don't know how serious he was. I know he was interested. He has a very close relationship with one of our owners, and Kyle really pushed hard for him.

I mean I consider Manning to be the best QB ever but this couldn't have worked out better for us really.

I saw a Yardbarker headline that I can't read because I'm at work, but it said, and I quote,"
<LI class=first sizcache="994" sizset="0">Mike Shanahan won’t let son Kyle interview ..."
I know Yardbarker is pretty much a rumor site, that I never read because the only time I see its' headlines are at work, but could you expand upon that rumor SS? At first glance I would assume it's saying Mike won't let Kyle interview, either for a coordinator job or for a HC job. You heard anything about that?

Kyle Shanahan off limits until Redskins' season is over - Washington Times

“At least my opinion, at least this is my feeling when I was an assistant, it’s not time to interview during the season,” Mike Shanahan said. “It’s time to concentrate on your job. After the season is over with, I think there’s plenty of time for all those things. That’s my gut feeling.”

He can't really stop Kyle once he's eligible to interview, but I suspect Kyle wouldn't without his dad's blessing
