What Did Chiefs' Secrecy Accomplish?
Just a thought...
What, exactly, did Scott Pioli accomplish by conducting the Kansas City Chiefs' coaching search in secrecy?
Nothing, it says here.
Virtually everyone in the league expected him to hire Todd Haley.
He hired Todd Haley.
Does that make the hiring wrong? No. But it's not exactly inspired. And the process that led up to it certainly didn't need to be treated as if state secrets were being protected.
Pioli could have set up a table and two chairs somewhere in the middle of the street in downtown Kansas City, invited everyone to listen to what he was saying to each candidate that sat across from him, and ended up with the same outcome.
Secrecy is fine if there's a point to it.
There was no point to it in this case.

It looks like it was mission accomplished if the goal was to piss off Mark Maske...
