Let me translate the sign and one-win distraction stunt that&rsquo;s hanging inside the Arrowhead Stadium practice facility:</p><p>&ldquo;Losers question our qualifications to fix this franchise. Winners do what we tell them to do to avoid getting fined, cut or losing access to our self-promoting, unenlightening off-the-record conversations. And in keeping with our tight-lipped approach on talking about in-house matters, we have no comment on Larry Johnson.&rdquo;</p><p>Scott Pioli and Todd Haley hung their &ldquo;losers and winners&rdquo; sign in an all-access location because they&rsquo;re trying to intimidate players, assistant coaches, support personnel and the media.</p><p>Their sign read: &ldquo;Losers assemble in small groups and complain about the coaches and other players. Winners assemble as a team and find ways to win.&rdquo;</p><p>You might think the sign is intended for Larry &ldquo;Tweet Tweet&rdquo; Johnson&rsquo;s edification. Not true. Larry isn&rsquo;t around. He&rsquo;s still suspended. You might think it&rsquo;s simply a hostile reminder to players to keep their mouths shut about any glaring errors made by Egoli and Haley. There&rsquo;s some truth in that.</p><p>But Pioli and Haley were thinking big picture when they hung the sign. It was for everyone&rsquo;s edification.</p><p>Don&rsquo;t buy Haley&rsquo;s Thursday excuse that the hallway where the sign was posted is &ldquo;sacred&rdquo; and that the media shouldn&rsquo;t have reported what the sign said. A Chiefs employee tweeted a picture of the sign. At one point Thursday, Haley said he didn&rsquo;t even know what Twitter is.</p><p>These guys are in over their heads. Haley is taking the bullet for a sign that I&rsquo;d almost guarantee came from Egoli&rsquo;s head. No way the sign went up without Pioli&rsquo;s approval. It took 24 hours for Pioli and Haley to figure out the sign makes them look Mickey Mouse and hypocritical.</p><p>LJ talked smack on Twitter. Pioli and Haley responded on a public bulletin board.</p><p>If you question them, you&rsquo;re a loser. Remember Pioli &mdash; like Charlie Weis, Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini and countless others &mdash; stood around the pile while Bill Belichick and Tom Brady racked up Super Bowl tackles. Pioli was credited with several assists. Plus, his father-in-law is none other than Bill Parcells, one of the 10 best football leaders of all time. And Haley&rsquo;s dad was a legendary personnel man for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Plus, Haley&rsquo;s coaching godfather is none other than Bill Parcells, one of the 10 best football leaders of all time.</p><p>Pioli and Haley have great r&eacute;sum&eacute;s. Unfortunately, in their short time in Kansas City, they haven&rsquo;t demonstrated they have a clue about leadership.</p><p>Pioli is adept at swinging deals with his dad and his former New England cronies, concocting rules that allegedly create a football-only &ldquo;winning&rdquo; environment and leaving the impression that King Carl Peterson was a warm-and-fuzzy charmer. Haley is good at yelling, one of the best the league has ever seen.</p><p>Leadership? Not so much.</p><p>&ldquo;Winners assemble as a team and find ways to win.&rdquo;</p><p>That comment paints the picture that Pioli and Haley are interested in solutions offered by their players. We know that&rsquo;s not the case. They hit town with a clear message:</p><p>&ldquo;You guys don&rsquo;t know anything about winning. We have all the answers. Shut your mouth, do as you&rsquo;re told and we&rsquo;ll win games. Oh, and Mike Vrabel, who is mad as hell about being sentenced to this hell hole at the end of his career, is going to teach you about preparing to be a champion.&rdquo;
