Buftex Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Wow...this is pretty brutal! Like somehting that somebody would post here...Fletcher rips Haslett! http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000440792/article/london-fletcher-rips-jim-haslett-coordinator-responds
boyst Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I will side with Fletcher on this one. Haslett has done a lot of good as a positional coach, been average or below as a DC and was lousy at HC.
Cash Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 You stay classy, London. Granted, he's probably right, but that's still a pretty harsh way to go about saying it.
bklnpete Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 You stay classy, London. Granted, he's probably right, but that's still a pretty harsh way to go about saying it. Aww, did your feelings get hurt? How about; "At least he waited until after he was off the team to blow him up?"
K-9 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I hope Fletcher doesn't aspire to a coaching job in the NFL because he just got himself listed. What a classless, stupid thing to say publicly. He may be smarter than Haslett, but he comes up short in the common sense department. GO BILLS!!!
Buftex Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Obviously, Fletcher had some deeply embedded issues with Haslett. I am a huge fan of the Chuck Knox era Bills, and Haslett was a pretty big part of their success...but I gotta say, I am so glad Ralph Wilson never hired Hasett as our coach... I have a hell of a lot of respect for Fletcher, what he says confirms things I have heard about Haslett over the years.
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Didn't Haslett trash Kent Hull and others with steroid allegations. I think I heard Hull and several of his ex teammates were pissed at him and I always felt Haslett was a weasel.
Fixxxer Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Never liked Haslett, always thought he was a weasel for some reason. Fletcher is a no-nonsense kind of guy, so I'm not surprised he's calling Haslett out.
metzelaars_lives Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I can honestly say that I've never heard anyone associated with the NFL throw someone else associated with the NFL under the bus that badly. And Fletcher always seemed like such a nice guy. In this era of Peyton Manning-like politico-don't say-anything of any substance type speak- certainly not anything to offend another team or player- that we live in, this is unheard of. He must have a personal grudge with the guy. Edited December 9, 2014 by metzelaars_lives
What a Tuel Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Anyone watch the beginning of the video? First I heard that the Rams sent out the 6 players they got from trades with the Redskins to do the coin toss. Pretty damn funny.
BillsBackersChicago Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I hope Fletcher doesn't aspire to a coaching job in the NFL because he just got himself listed. What a classless, stupid thing to say publicly. He may be smarter than Haslett, but he comes up short in the common sense department. GO BILLS!!! Fortunately, this is just the type of thing that will get him a media gig which will pay a whole hell of a lot more per hour, be longer lasting, and more secure than any coaching gig.
Solomon Grundy Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Never liked Haslett, always thought he was a weasel for some reason. Fletcher is a no-nonsense kind of guy, so I'm not surprised he's calling Haslett out. Now he needs to call out the effort of some of his ex teammates! See the video of Redskins offensive lineman standing there blocking no one.
Cash Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Aww, did your feelings get hurt? How about; "At least he waited until after he was off the team to blow him up?" What a bizarre response. Why would my feelings be hurt? Do you think I'm Jim Haslett?
Nanker Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Obviously, Fletcher had some deeply embedded issues with Haslett. I am a huge fan of the Chuck Knox era Bills, and Haslett was a pretty big part of their success...but I gotta say, I am so glad Ralph Wilson never hired Hasett as our coach... I have a hell of a lot of respect for Fletcher, what he says confirms things I have heard about Haslett over the years. There was a time when I was hoping Haz would become the Bills HC. When he first got into coaching that was his stated goal. As his coaching career matured, I am glad that never happened. I can honestly say that I've never heard anyone associated with the NFL throw someone else associated with the NFL under the bus that badly. And Fletcher always seemed like such a nice guy. In this era of Peyton Manning-like politico-don't say-anything of any substance type speak- certainly not anything to offend another team or player- that we live in, this is unheard of. He must have a personal grudge with the guy. Spoken for truth. Fortunately, this is just the type of thing that will get him a media gig which will pay a whole hell of a lot more per hour, be longer lasting, and more secure than any coaching gig. It didn't work out so well for Tiki Barber now, did it.
Helpmenow Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Better watch it London Haslett will step on your bald head.
Mr. WEO Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I hope Fletcher doesn't aspire to a coaching job in the NFL because he just got himself listed. What a classless, stupid thing to say publicly. He may be smarter than Haslett, but he comes up short in the common sense department. GO BILLS!!! Nah, he will probably go the traditional failed business route--maybe a few carwash places or a wine bar or restaurant.
