The Omaha Nighthawks season was the second season for the United Football League franchise.
The team fired previous head coach Jeff Jagodzinski following the 2010 season after losing the last four games and slipping out of the playoffs. Joe Moglia, an Omaha native who had originally been assigned as head coach of the expansion Virginia Destroyers, was reassigned to Omaha to replace Jagodzinski.
The Nighthawks have also changed stadiums, moving from Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, where they spent their inaugural season, to TD Ameritrade Park in the downtown area of Omaha.
