Haslett

[Devin]

I know we are all about 50-50 on him, the more I think about it it wouldnt be soooooo bad. Sort of a "good ol boy coming back home" type of story.

The knock with Haslett in LA has always been the GM/owner and his inability to get on the same page. I am not that naive, but keeping Bobby April here and bringing him in along with a competant DC/OC......

could be interesting.

Re: Haslett

I would prefer that we spend a lot of money on a proven winner in coaching. Even though I like him, that, imo, would not be Jim Haslett.

Re: Haslett

Yeah I'm not a big Haslett fan though he would be an upgrade. Hell, Paul McGuire would be an upgrade.

Re: Haslett

I agree, I think I was more so saying Haslett wouldnt be that bad.

[Devin]

Re: Haslett

Plus I dont know how many "proven winners" are going to be availble.

Damn TD for not getting Weis.

Re: Haslett

I wouldn't sign Haslett. To me, that wouldn't be much of an upgrade over Mularkey. Best bet is to start fresh. I would go after somebody like Ron Rivera or Kirk Ferentz.

Re: Haslett

Kirk Ferentz and Beamer I think are on everyones list, but I wouldnt hold my breath.

Re: Haslett

can anyone name a proven winner that would possibly be available?

Brian Billick? For a guy who is suppose to be a offensive "guru" his Ravens offences during his tenure weren't exactly powerhouses. And when he won the SB in 2000 he had arguably one of the greatest defences of the last 20 years along with the 85 Bears. Still the guy has won and made it to the playoffs several times.

Re: Haslett

Hasslett would be a pick i would see them making. Who knows it could be one of those cases such with Belicheck, that they'll do better on their second time around. Besides New Olrean organization has been a joke for years. He has had some bad luck down there.

Re: Haslett

Haslett? Well, he's not the best out there, but he's an upgrade over what we've got right now. Heck, the chimpanzee from the Red Rose Tea commercials is an upgrade over what we've got right now...

I'd hire Ron Wolf as the GM and then hire Ron Rivera or Brad Childress as the HC...

Re: Haslett

I like Childress, but im sick of rookie coaches, Wolf would be great but i hear he is happy just as a consultant.

Re: Haslett

I think we need to figure out who will our GM be before talking about a coach.

Re: Haslett

Granted he has only made the playoffs once since he started in NO in 2000 but he also only had one losing season. (not including this year....I think he gets a pass for this year given the Katrina circumstances)

He definitely wouldn't be first on my list but we could do alot worse.

2000: 10-6
2001: 7-9
2002: 9-7
2003: 8-8
2004: 8-8
