Chiefs Arrowhead anxiety: Turnover off the field causes concern - Page 63

Dr. Gigglepants · 01-14-2012, 11:42 PM

Secrecy, intimidation, fear and a watchful eye have become hallmarks of working for the Chiefs, say some current and former employees.

BY KENT BABB THE KANSAS CITY STAR

Todd Haley walked into the public relations office at Chiefs headquarters on a Thursday in early December. Four days before he was fired as the team’s coach, he wanted to talk about what life was like inside this organization. But he didn’t know who else might be listening.

This article goes into a lot of detail on the changes that came into effect with the Pioli regime. Sounds like a shitty ass place to work now.

I don't care how much you love the Chiefs. This story is getting worse every day.

This is what bothers me. This team is beginning to resemble the Raiders under the Vampire's ownership. Not only is it embarrassing as a fan, its likely to have an impact on who's willing to come to KC.

The Executive of the Year is ****ing this franchise up at a record pace.

Gretz just dropped a Whitlockian bomb on the Chiefs.

The power of the media.

How much is lash back since the horrible Chiefs won't tell the media everything or anything.

How does the media know this shit?

If you all are that embarrassed and don't like what is going on....jump.
Until the owner changes, nothing changes.

This is nothing but football...a game. You all take the most simple stuff and make it sound like the end of earth....

I obtained a transcript of the taped interview:

"We are excited about Romeo. The allegations are ridiculous, but I can't say more at this time. We are taking the search for an OC seriously and taking our time to make sure we get the right candidate."

So you're suggesting that it's the MESSENGER'S FAULT?

Babb didn't **** anybody...

SCOTT PIOLI did.

If Haley was hired in spite of all the stories written about us.
If this was the talk of the combine...

Football is a fraternity. Everybody knows. Everybody knew this was going down. And if the rumor is that Pioli is a notorious lowballer, every agent knows that too.

Sounds like Peyton Manning knows.

I have to believe that the word got around to most folks even without the story; but, the story definitely tarnished the front office and the franchise is the eyes of the public, media, and the players that had not really had much contact with KC.

I'm pretty sure that PM knew or would have found out easily enough about the dysfunctional front office we have. Orton, who couldn't wait to get out of KC quickly enough, would have told him.
