IMO I do no think the switch to 3-4 from 4-3 is as much to blame as the choice to run and lead the entire defense - Haslett.
The switch to 3-4 did set us back YEARS because we did not have the personnel to run it and with limited cap room and draft picks we had at the time was never taken into consideration.
While Haslett might be a good LB and front 7 coach in the class room and on the practice field. Haslett does not have the ability to lead a defense from the sidelines during a game. He can not adjust on the fly and tends to choke. Just my 2cents.
Time for him to go.
