Former Chiefs coach Todd Haley believes the team has many rooms at the team facility bugged so administrators can monitor conversations. Haley also suspected that his personal cellphone had been tampered with. The Chiefs have adamantly denied that they tap phones or listen in on conversations, but Haley wasn't the only one with suspicions. "When you're mentally abused, you eventually lose it, too," one former longtime Chiefs executive said. "The level of paranoia was probably the highest that I had ever seen it anywhere," another former high-ranking staffer said. "... If you make the wrong step, you might not be able to pay your mortgage." This past year, Haley stopped talking on the phone and repeatedly checked his office for listening devices. After being fired, he has refused interview requests. The Chiefs said there's nothing to substantiate Haley's fears, but some believed that anything was possible. "I don't think that anything would surprise anyone, really," said a former employee who worked for the Chiefs for more than two decades. "That's how [general manager] Scott [Pioli] wants it."
