Does this cloak and dagger stuff work in the NFL? As long as employees are notified ahead of time that privacy doesn't exist at Arrowhead, I have no problem with it. (Now, of course, if Haley's mobile phone was hacked.....)
I'm just not sure this is the way to build a dynasty in the NFL. Having a franchise QB in combination with a franchise coach is the only way it is really done anymore.
I do think Pioli seems like a really strange guy, and probably not very likable. I could give a **** if wins though. Thus far, there are two defining events of the Pioli era, and neither of them is has to do with the winning: His fixation with Matt Cassel and his weird estrangement from his head coach, two events that might not be unrelated.
If he delivers a franchise QB, none of this stuff will matter, and Pioli will just be viewed as being an eccentric, driven guy.
