2011 Kansas City Chiefs season

NFL team season December 2013 March 2026 Kansas City Chiefs 2011 7–9 4th AFC West Todd Haley (fired Dec. 12, 5–8 record)Romeo Crennel (interim, 2–1 record) Bill Muir Romeo Crennel The Hunt family (Clark Hunt Chairman and CEO) Scott Pioli Arrowhead Stadium Did not qualify 2 LB Tamba Hali LB Derrick Johnson 2 LB Tamba Hali (2nd team) LB Derrick Johnson (1st team) Derrick Johnson Justin Houston 180px Chiefs seasons The 2011 season was the Kansas City Chiefs' 42nd in the National Football League (NFL), their 52nd overall and their third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Todd Haley and Scott Pioli. A 10–6 record in their 2010 season lent high expectations to their 2011 season, but the Chiefs suffered reversed fortunes. A season-ending hand injury to their starting quarterback Matt Cassel in their eighth game of the season proved especially significant. After a 4–4 record with Cassel at the helm, the Chiefs staggered to a 7–9 win–loss record by season end and failed to make the playoffs. The Chiefs training camp began on July 29 in St. Joseph, Missouri. The Chiefs played their first preseason game on August 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On September 11, the Chiefs opened their regular season against the Buffalo Bills. They did not earn their first win until Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings. After starting the season 5–8, head coach Todd Haley was fired after a 37–10 loss to the New York Jets. Haley was replaced by defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article-2/HALEY-RELIEVED-OF-DUTIES/9f2d029b-c450-48cb-9791-8038582a3270 Haley Relieved of Duties December 12, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20120107051055/http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article-2/HALEY-RELIEVED-OF-DUTIES/9f2d029b-c450-48cb-9791-8038582a3270 January 7, 2012 dead mdy-all Haley became the second Chiefs coach to be fired during a season; the first was Paul Wiggin in 1977. One spot of the season is the first game after Crennel took over as interim head coach. The Chiefs achieved an upset win against the 13–0 defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers to ruin their perfect season hopes; that loss would prove to be the only one the 2011 Packers suffered in their 15–1 regular season record. 3 Offseason Coaching changes +Kansas City Chiefs Coaching Changeshttp://www.nfl.com/freeagency#players-tab-set-1:players-grid-container-team/players-list-dropdown-team:team-kc Kansas City Chiefs 2010 Free Agency NFL.com April 25, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100424021026/http://www.nfl.com/freeagency April 24, 2010 live Position Coach 2010 position 2011 position OC Bill Muir Kansas City Chiefs OLC Kansas City Chiefs OC/OLC OC Charlie Weis Kansas City Chiefs OC Florida Gators OC QBC Jim Zorn Baltimore Ravens QBC Kansas City Chiefs QBC Free agency +Kansas City Chiefs free agency Position Player Status* 2010 team 2011 team LB Charlie Anderson UFA Kansas City Chiefs None RB Jackie Battle RFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs WR Steve Breaston UFA Arizona Cardinals Kansas City Chiefs CB Brandon Carr RFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs FB Tim Castille UFA Kansas City Chiefs None WR Keary Colbert UFA None Kansas City Chiefs WR Terrance Copper UFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs TE Brad Cottam RFA Kansas City Chiefs None FB Mike Cox RFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle UFA Kansas City Chiefs Arizona Cardinals WR Kevin Curtis UFA Kansas City Chiefs Tennessee TitansCB Travis Daniels UFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs DT Ron Edwards UFA Kansas City Chiefs Carolina Panthers OT Jared Gaither UFA Baltimore Ravens Kansas City Chiefs DE Wallace Gilberry RFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs DT Kelly Gregg UFA Baltimore Ravens Kansas City Chiefs LB Cory Greenwood EFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs LB Tamba Hali UFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs S Reshard Langford EFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs CB Maurice Leggett RFA Kansas City Chiefs None FB Le'Ron McClain UFA Baltimore Ravens Kansas City Chiefs S Jon McGraw UFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs OT Steve Maneri RFA New England Patriots Kansas City Chiefs LB Corey Mays UFA Kansas City Chiefs None C Rudy Niswanger UFA Kansas City Chiefs Detroit Lions OT Ryan O'Callaghan UFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs S Sabby Piscitelli UFA Tampa Bay Buccaneers & Cleveland Browns Kansas City ChiefsTE Leonard Pope UFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs OT Barry Richardson RFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs LB Brandon Siler UFA San Diego Chargers Kansas City Chiefs DE Shaun Smith UFA Kansas City Chiefs Tennessee Titans LB Mike Vrabel UFA Kansas City Chiefs Retired C Casey Wiegmann UFA Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs*RFA: Restricted free agent, UFA: Unrestricted free agent, ERFA: Exclusive rights free agent, Franchise: Franchise tag Draft 2011 NFL draft 2011 Kansas City Chiefs Draft Round Selection Player Position College 1 Cleveland trade [a] 26 Baltimore missed pick [b] Jon Baldwin Wide receiver Pittsburgh 2 55 Rodney Hudson Center Florida State 3 70 Cleveland trade [a] Justin Houston Linebacker Georgia 3 86 Allen Bailey Defensive end Miami (FL) 4 118 Jalil Brown Cornerback Colorado 5 135 Tampa Bay trade [c] Ricky Stanzi Quarterback Iowa 5 140 Detroit tampering [d] Gabe Miller Linebacker Oregon State 6 Tampa Bay trade [c] 199 Compensatory selection [e] Jerrell Powe Nose tackle Mississippi 7 223 Shane Bannon Fullback Yale Cleveland trade [a] The Chiefs traded their original first-round selection (#21) to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the first-round selection (#27) which the Browns had previously acquired from Atlanta, and Cleveland's third-round selection (#70 overall).December 2011 Baltimore missed pick [b] The Baltimore Ravens originally held the 26th pick, but they did not submit their pick in the allotted ten minutes which allowed Kansas City to pick ahead of them.

The Chiefs were also plagued with penalties, finishing the game with 11 penalties total.

The Jets offense gained only 9 net yards on the drive, however they were still able to score a touchdown. After the game, Haley was fired mid-season; writers speculated that Haley's penalty, as well as the team's overall poor performance and discipline that game, was to blame.https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/7344798/kansas-city-chiefs-fire-coach-todd-haley-struggling-team-5-8 Chiefs fire coach Todd Haley December 12, 2011 ESPN.com Week 15: vs. Green Bay Packers Kansas City Chiefs 2011 2;text-align:center; autocollapse Week 15: Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs – Game summary December 18 12:00 p.m. CST Packers 0 0 7 7 Chiefs 6 0 3 10 Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri 74,093 Sunny, 50 F C Gene Steratore Fox Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston and Tony Siragusa Recap, Game Book First quarter KC – Ryan Succop 19-yard field goal, 8:56.
