Mark VI Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Owner Tom Benson - " They look like high school kids. Thats the worst Saints team I've seen in over 20 years ! " That's the owner talking. Good God ! I remember folks saying they wanted him over Mularkey. The jury is still out on MM but no such caveat for Haslett. Another Indiana of Pennsylvannia grad ( like TD and Modrak ) . Yes he played LB for the Bills.... but as a Coach, HE STINKS ! That TD even considered him makes me wonder.
BillnutinHouston Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Who said TD considered him? Man I hope not. That would be scary. People are still enamored by his playing days. They were great, but as a coach he hasn't proven anything.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 And he's had good players too. Yet every year they quit on him. Not what you want in a coach no matter what level. Pass on Has
/dev/null Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 i remember when JH was hired by the saints that there were some rumours that he was #2 on ralph and john butlers list behind wade when marv retired
silvermike Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Are we going after Tom Donahoe now for not hiring someone who's bad, because he maybe thought about interviewing him? That's a little much - there's plenty of real problems in that man's tenure, thinking about Haslett isn't one of them.
Pete Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Worst team in football. Yes worse then San Fran, Wash and Felons
Alaska Darin Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Worst team in football. Yes worse then San Fran, Wash and Felons 129849[/snapback] Sorry, but if you think the Niners aren't the worst team in football you haven't been watching very closely.
Pete Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Sorry, but if you think the Niners aren't the worst team in football you haven't been watching very closely. 129859[/snapback] You must not be watching the Saints. Duece is the most underutilized player in the NFL. What a waste on that team. Brooks at times makes Bledsoe look like a smart QB Hasletts coaching decisions are laughable. San Fran is horrid too. You want to watch some bad football check out the Redskins on offense
Steve O Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 And he's had good players too. Yet every year they quit on him. Not what you want in a coach no matter what level. Pass on Has 129730[/snapback] There is a reason the Saints have almost always been terrible, that there teams always seem to quit. Not from lack of talent. Ever been to New Orleans? Almost impossible to focus on football for an entire season living in that atmosphere. Haslett was a good coordinator at Pittsburgh, and has had as much success at New Orleans as anyone (just my impression, don't have the stats in front of me to support that)

However, they are infinately more talented than the Niners. The game they played against KC last week proved what they are capable of. The Niners are just flat out horrible. Almost no NFL talent, especially at the skill positions.
Guest Guest Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I went to see the Saints play the Chiefs last week. While they won, and Deuce had a nice game, their defense is friggin' awful....
Guest Guest Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Levy was uninspiring in SL, and absolutely awfull in the USFL with the Chicago Blitz. I thought bringing him here was a terrible mistake. I was wrong. Belicheck looked awfull in Cleveland, and even in his first few years in NE. He looks pretty good now. So who knows?
