Pioli also organized a trade with former colleague Thomas Dimitroff, later the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons, that sent longtime Chiefs tight end
Tony Gonzalez to Atlanta in exchange for a draft pick that brought Javier Arenas to the Chiefs.
Pioli was responsible for the
hiring of Cassel and his back up Brady Quinn as quarterbacks. The Chiefs had the worst record in the NFL for interceptions (20) in 2012 (Cassel threw 12 and Quinn threw 8). The Chiefs had the worst record in the NFL in offensive passing.
Both Crennel and Pioli were fired at the end of the season with Pioli formally being fired January 4, 2013. Cassel was also unconditionally released.
During Pioli's term, more than
half the Chiefs back office personnel left the organization including club president Denny Thum who was team president and had been with the organization since 1974
DAMN IMPRESSIVE!!!
