What do ya'll think about Haslett? Looks like he has been in town for a few days.

I was listening to Sirius NFL radio today and a caller called in about the Packers Defense. The hosts told him if we want an aggressive defense...Haslett is the man we need. -
Great. May have a better personality than Williams.Comment

I'd be down with Haslet - or Williams - or a number of addtional possibilities.Comment

Haslett's resume doesn't look very impressive. His defensives in Stl were pretty weak and the ones in New Orleans weren't all that impressive.Comment

Same ... I've been pretty vocal about a lot of stuff around here, but it seems like there's a lot of "DC talent" out there that would be an upgrade (or at least change of pace) and satisfy most rats.Originally posted by vinceComment

Re: Haslet
I would endorse it. I thought he and MM left on uneasy terms in NO so I hadn't seriously considered him, but if he has formally interviewed he just moved up the charts. I like him.Originally posted by Bub
I want the best guy period, but I've decided my preference would be a guy with DC experience. Haslett, Williams, McGinnis, et al. Add Capers and Lewis if the transition to a 3-4 wouldn't be a start from scratch deal. I don't think it would necessarily have to be. Just a preference, no absolutes.
I think TT is having more of a say on who the eventual replacement is than they let on, just my gut. He played for Bum. Does anyone remember what type of D he preferred. 3-4 or 4-3, blitz no blitz, bend don't break or aggressive?
Can't recall the source but I actually saw Chuck Cecil on a list of potential replacements for Sanders. I guess he got a reckless driving citation or something last year that is holding him back for now.Comment

I suppose one way some are looking at this is that even a mediocre coordinator might be an upgrade."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

St. Louis is an overall HORRIBLE team...do you really expect him to have the #1 defense? He was a largely respected DC before he took over in New Orleans.Originally posted by Bub"I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny MurraughComment

Other thoughts about Haslet's resume as a D-coordinator? I don't know anything about the guy, except the word was he and MM didn't have a great working relationship, whatever that is."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

He's be alright; way better than Winston Moss
Winston Moss was promoted by Haslett in NO
If MM is trying to keep inner piece he might be a hire Moss is fine with
Of course one might argue this really shouldn't matter muchTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Based on the pose in our avatar, I think the bikini girls are trying to keep an inner piece.Originally posted by Bretsky
BTW, Bum Phillips was, I think, a 3-4 guy. I might be wrong, but I have a hazy memory of that."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I'm not really sure what Haslett did before his N.O. days. All I've seen is how he's done in NO and Stl.Comment

He was the Pitt DC prior to NO.Comment

Haslett got the HC job in New Orleans largely on the strength of his work as DC in Pittsburgh. They finished 6th, 11th and 12th (not necessarily in that order) during his 3 years in Pittsburgh.Originally posted by FritzI can't run no more with that lawless crowd
