Arrowheadlines: Chiefs News 1/6

Good morning! Happy Friday. Here is today's Kansas City Chiefs news. Enjoy.

The 2011 Kansas City Chiefs turned in quite the year. If anything, it was always worth watching to see what would happen next.

From Derrick Johnson's 179-tackle season to Ryan Succop making 22 consecutive field goals, a number of Chiefs established personal-bests during a wild season of ups and downs.

Here's a look some of the personal milestones, both big and small, that Chiefs players established during the 2011 season.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio will interview for the Kansas City Chiefs head coach position.

A source in Jacksonville, FL told KCTV5 that Del Rio will interview on Friday.

Del Rio played for the Chiefs for a season after 11 years with the New Orleans Saints as a linebacker. He became the Jags coach in 2003. He was fired in November, becoming the first coaching casualty of this season.

Jacksonville fired Del Rio in late November after a 3-8 start. It was his eighth season with the Jaguars and he left with a 68-71 record, including two playoff appearances. But the Jags under Del Rio hadn't finished above .500 since 2007, a four-year span that included two 5-11 finishes (including '11, when they went 2-3 with Mel Tucker as the interim head coach). And sources told CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco that Del Rio had lost his drive, showing up to work at 9 a.m., which is swell for your garden-variety sedentary pencil pusher but equivalent to banker's hours for an NFL head coach.

Everyone was wondering - including me - if the Cardinals would have interest in bringing back Todd Haley to the coaching staff. Well, apparently there is. Kent Somers reported tonight Ken Whisenhunt will talk to Haley about coming back. There are no openings as of now, but that obviously can change quickly - and there also is nothing that says the Cards can't just add another coach to the staff. It would make sense that Haley would come back to run the offense, but if that happened, I don't know how offensive coordinator Mike Miller fits into the equation.

5. Kansas City Chiefs

What makes Kansas City a good job?-The Chiefs are just one year removed from double-digit victories and an AFC West title. Much of the reason they struggled in 2011 was due to key injuries and it's likely that Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry and Matt Cassel will return healthy next season. The overall roster is solid and they have a proven personnel man in Scott Pioli.

Why should a potential suitor stay away?- The Chiefs don't have a legitimate answer at quarterback and although Scott Pioli has credentials, he's struggled of late with personnel decisions. Kansas City has some issues on both lines which might not be able to be fixed right away.

So, now, the Rams and Buccaneers will join the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and Kansas City Chiefs in searches for a new head coach.

Better yet, have they already made their decision but don't yet know it?...

...When the decision is made as to which candidate to hire, it owes a great deal to perceptual distortions. Here are 8 perceptual distortions that significantly influence the selection and hiring of head coaches in the NFL:
