"After the Chiefs interviewed Jack Del Rio, the field of known candidates to become their next head coach expanded to three. It also became evident a couple of the presumed favorites when Todd Haley was fired last month aren't on that list.

•Former Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher indicated he would soon choose between offers from Miami and St. Louis.

•The Chiefs have yet to request permission to speak with St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. He could be headed back to New England as an assistant coach.

Del Rio's name surfaced earlier in the week as someone the Chiefs might like to speak with. Unlike Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, who interviewed earlier in the week, Del Rio has a vast history as a head coach.

Del Rio was with the Jacksonville Jaguars for nine seasons until he was fired in November with the Jaguars at 3-8. He failed to lead the Jaguars to an AFC South championship in those nine years, but he did take them to two wild-card playoff berths while compiling a record of 68-71."
