Cardinals' offensive coordinator Todd Haley talked about his desire to become a head coach in the NFL on Tuesday and was very aware of rumors that he could end up in Kansas City. "I don't know if you can say everybody wants to be a head coach," said Haley. "I didn't get in this business to be a head coach. As you move further along, and you move up the ladder, it's something you start to think about. " 'Could I do this job, could I not do this job?' I have great confidence in my ability, and if the right situation presents itself, I think I'd like to show that." He then directly discussed the persistent rumors linking him to the Chiefs. "That would make me feel good, but that's pure speculation, and something I'm not thinking about, and that's coming from my heart," Haley said. "We worked too hard to get to this game, and I am truly excited and blessed that the Arizona Cardinals are in the Super Bowl, which is a monumental thing."

Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher has reportedly turned down an offer to coach the Kansas City Chiefs. "It's not going to happen," according to a source close to Cowher. The same source said Cowher has reiterated over the past few months that he has no desire to coach in 2009.

Speculation that Cardinals' offensive coordinator Todd Haley will become the next head coach of the Chiefs has begun to intensify. However, as of Saturday night the Chiefs had not asked the Cardinals for permission to speak with Haley. On Friday, Haley appeared to deny rumors. "Like I've told everybody else, I love my job here," he said. "I love the guy I work for (Whisenhunt), and the guys I work with, and I love the guys I coach. "I've got five kids, so the last thing I'm thinking about is moving anywhere. I'm just enjoying what's going on right here and the fact we've been able to do something nobody else has been able to do."

According to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com, Herm Edwards will reportedly decide between taking time off, working in television, or as a defensive backs coach. There have been rumors that Edwards could land in Indianapolis.

Amid reports that the Chiefs were close to naming Mike Shanahan their new coach on Friday night, sources close to the former Broncos coach claim no contact has been made. Shanahan has yet to publicly comment on any of the reports. In his last public comments since he was fired in Denver, Shanahan said he would coach again but didn't know if it would be this season. "I'm going to be coaching and I can't give you a time frame. . . . I love the NFL; I don't see myself getting out of it."

Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that the Chiefs could be near a deal with former Broncos' head coach Mike Shanahan. Kansas City fired Herm Edwards on Friday afternoon, and it has been rumored that new general manager Scott Pioli is interested in Arizona offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

League sources revealed to the Philadelphia Daily News on Friday that Kansas City's Scott Pioli has targeted Cardinals' offensive coordinator Todd Haley to replace Herm Edwards. The Daily News reported the story before Edwards was officially fired by the Chiefs on Friday afternoon. Haley can't be offered the job by Kansas City until after the team plays in next Sunday's Super Bowl.

The Kansas City Chiefs today announced that head coach Herm Edwards has been relieved of his duties effective immediately. ESPN is reporting that Kansas City is close to hiring Mike Shanahan. ?On behalf of my family, I want to thank Herm for his service to the Chiefs,? Chiefs Chairman Clark Hunt said. ?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.? General Manager Scott Pioli reiterated Hunt?s sentiments. ?Since my arrival last week, Herm and I have had several conversations as part of my overall evaluation of the football operation. After careful consideration, Clark and I felt that it was best to make a change. "What I conveyed last week in the press conference I still believe to be true ? Herm is a great man and a tremendous football coach. He respects the game and the league, and he is passionate about his players and his craft. ?Over the course of this last week, I have also spent time meeting and visiting with most of the assistant coaches, and I will continue to do so over the next several days. All of the coaches from last year's staff, with the exception of one, are under contract through the 2009 season." Click here to read RealGM's Audit of the Chiefs' 2008 season

Rumors have been spreading that the Kansas City Chiefs will hire Mike Shanahan as their new head coach, but the two sides have had no talks, according to NFL.com.

Arizona offensive coordinator Todd Haley was receiving buzz as a potential NFL head coach, and it has elevated after calling the 14-play, 72-yard TD drive to decide the NFC championship while dealing with angry Anquan Boldin yelling at him on the sideline. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio speculated on the possibility of Haley returning to Valley Ranch, but that seems unlikely. Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock is lobbying for the Chiefs to hire Haley. That makes a lot of sense, especially with Scott Pioli (Bill Parcells' son-in-law) running the show now in Kansas City.
