Did not deal with the media well...
Oh yeah thats right...
Bill Belichick
Isn't he a "God" now? Cannot do NO wrong??
Excerpts:
Matter of fact, Belichick was a pariah by the end of his third season on the job in Cleveland. He improved the team, from 6-10 in his first season to 11-5 and a playoff berth in his fourth; yet his popularity proved to be the inverse of the team's on-the-field fortunes. He went from being generally liked in his first year to openly disliked in his second, and outright hated in his third, even though the Browns maintained some semblance of on-the-field progress over that period. When a playoff run in 1994 failed to win over the fans- people used to root for the Browns to lose so Belichick would get fired, even in '94- it was obvious that only a Super Bowl championship or the re-signing of Bernie Kosar could save him around here. Neither happened. Soon after the old Browns relocated to Baltimore, Belichick was fired, albeit too late for his many Cleveland detractors to get any enjoyment out of it.

Browns
Here is the point:
Haslett worked for an organization that has a LONG LONG history of ineptitude...heck, he even won the Saints there ONLY playoff game....remember on another sport (I know its hard to compare but Ill throw this out there) when Joe Torre was such a "bum"....what about now?
Point is: Maybe Haslett or another coach who didnt do well somewhere else can flourish in Buffalo IF given the correct tools to WIN in the NFL....
Give the new future HC a chance, no matter who it is!
