    The Turk has taken another coach.

    FOXSports.com has learned that the New Orleans Saints this morning fired head coach Jim Haslett. Haslett was informed of GM Mickey Loomis' decision this morning and then Loomis met with owner Tom Benson shortly after to finalize the details.

    Haslett will now become a hot candidate in places like Buffalo, St. Louis and possibly in New York if Herm Edwards bolts for the Chiefs.

        Someone please inform me what Haslett has ever done to deserve a shot coaching here in Buffalo.

              So does Gregg Williams and Wade Phillips, and hopefully soon, Mike Mularkey. But I wouldn't want any of them.

                Theres 2 things, play for Buffalo, and show a nasty fiery nature.

                Niether have made him a winner as a HC.

                Like I said before, change when its not a true upgrade is most likely a downgrade.

                  I don't understand the infatuation with Jim Haslett is. Not just you guys but people I talk to about football seem to think he is a good coach for some reason. He has done nothing at all to warrent any type of second chance. Yet, he will most likely land a gig.

                  On a sidenote, I think it is going to be a long time before they fill the coaching vacancy in New Orlenas/San Antonio/Baton Rouge. They are going to have to go with a rookie coach who is just excited for the opportunity because no veteran coach is oging to want to work for Benson under those conditions.

                      He took a team that had not had a winning season in 7 years and went 10-6 his first year (w/ Jeff Blake no less).

                      In his six years there he had one losing season and it was only by 1 game (7-9). Note: I do not count this year as valid. I doubt Lombardi could have made much of a difference.

                      Granted he has only made the playoffs once since being there so I'm not "on the Haslett bandwagon". However, if the choice is between MM and Haslett, I'd take Jimbo in a heartbeat. He may not be the best but he would definitely get the franchise back to respectability and maybe get lucky enough with some good bounces to get us the prize. Who knows.

                      But I want to make sure Ralph gets the right GM first because ultimately the GM will decide the course of the team.

                          Picking a new head coach will be difficult. Anyone think Haslett would make a good D-coordinator?
