In that first paragraph alone you can tell that he worried about things that he really didn't need to handle, which caused him to miss X amount of hours of work. See he knows the number of hours he wasted like the back of his hand, but he didn't focus on the things that mattered the most, like QB play. Another reason he failed is that Pioli never admits he made a mistake w/ Cassel. In this entire list he still really doesn't admit his catastrophic failures. He points blame to others. For instance the pit bull thing. WTF is he doing getting caught up in that mess? Tell this anonymous player that raising a bunch of aggressive pit bulls is ****ing stupid and could possibly/eventually get him kicked out of the league, or at least in trouble w/ the law.
The best thing he could have ever done while in KC, and probably would have saved him his job, was to cut his losses w/ Matt Cassel after 2011. We should have sucked for Luck if you will, and we'd be sitting pretty right now, probably SB contenders, and Pioli would probably still have a job and most people would think he was God because we finally drafted a franchise QB.
Overall it sounds like he wasn't at all prepared to handle this type of job, and he excelled in a position that required him to answer to other people and not as much responsibility rested on him. Over in New England, Bill Belichick runs that ****ing show. Always has, and always will, or at least until Brady retires, which at that point Belichik should probably retire too, unless Ryan Mallett plans on being some kinda superstar. You see that since Pioli left, the Pats haven't really skipped a beat. No they haven't won any SB's, but they've won their division and have repeatedly gone to the playoffs.
