Business-side staffers with an office window facing the practice fields were made to keep their shades drawn during practices. The team president was no exception. A security guard made the rounds during practices, sometimes interrupting phone calls and meetings to lower shades.

This part I know to be true. Paranoia.... one of my friends worked there and had to quit because of stress.

This may actually be the first truly scathing article of Piloi, considering the backroom stories. And Mellinger's pieces on Piloi's drafts can't be considered scathing compared to this.

I doubt the players give a shit about what's going on in the office.

True, but the coaches and staff sure care.

Anyone have a hard time believing Clark Hunt would want his top executives behaving this way, knowing how his dad was and how he's supposed to be his father's son?

Goldman Sachs training program. :rolleyes:

This franchise is an embarrassment. Who would want to come here as a free agent knowing this shit? Word gets around.

Winning, my ass.
Nope.

no kidding.

also, I don't know really what could be done administratively that can make Bowe a better player etc...

Could Babb force Hunt's hand to fire Pioli after this article? I mean the organization takes a hit after something like this coming out...

Hammock Parties 01-15-2012 12:16 AM
Lamar Hunt used to pass out gameday magazines in front of Arrowhead on Sundays. Like a minimum wage schlep.

Scott Pioli can't take 10 seconds to bend down and pick up a candy wrapper.

Probably not, but as Chiefs fans we'd have to make sure everyone who cares in KC recognizes this article.

Well, maybe, but I'm not sure that anything I'm reading in this article is really that far out of the norm. Let's face it, sports management jobs attract a certain type of person (paranoid, psychopathic assholes with giant egos).

I doubt this would affect free agency. Where it would hurt is coaching candidates (i.e. Jeff Fisher) knowing this stuff and not even blinking at KC while flirting with Miami, where he would've eventually worked under Carl Peterson.

Things are so secret that a talk show host has the teams defensive play book.

DeezNutz 01-15-2012 12:21 AM
If Pioli put as much attention to detail into the roster as he does his subordinates, we'd be a pretty decent franchise.

Can't wait until this clown is fired. Eagerly anticipating 2032.

tk13 01-15-2012 12:22 AM
I guess this is also a good time to reveal that ChiefsPlanet has also been bugged since Pioli took over. Watch what you say people.
