I think he would be one of the top HC candidates. He did a solid job in Cincy with limited resources and support.

Per his press conference he's keeping the staff intact, so unless anybody gets a job elsewhere they should all be back. We need a new TE coach due to the former guy taking the job at Colorado so there shouldn't be too many changes.

I think haslett has done a pretty damn good job considering all of the injuries and the haynesworth bull shit.. In fact look at the division defensive stats and we aren't that bad points wise

In fact we gave up 17 Points or less in 9 games this season.

Our defense is hard to evaluate. On one hand they're last in the league in terms of yards and 20th in the stat that matters most (PPG). There was also the Philly debacle as well as the Houston comeback (which now doesn't look as bad after they almost did the same thing to Baltimore). The first Giants game wasn't pretty either as were contest against the Rams, Lions, and Colts.

However there were also a lot of games were the defense did their part in holding opponents under 20 points in 9 games this year, including 5 of the last 6 games, with the exception being when they allowed 33 against Dallas. They're on the right track and compared to Dallas's 3-4 switch they actually didn't do bad at all.

OMG, your going to make some enemies. lol.

See it's all about stats and the defense was ranked close to last stat wise. Who cares about turnovers, or points allowed.

Actually Turnovers are crucial and Points matter more than yards last time I checked

"Pretty damn good" defenses get lots of takeaways. The Skins had 2.5 per game which is average at best.


"Pretty damn good" defenses score points on defense. Skins had 1 INT returned for a TD and - - I believe - - 1 fumbel returned for a TD. That is less than average; it is pretty bad. :tongue


"Pretty damn good" defenses allow the team to dominate time of possession because they keep the "other guys" off the field. Redskins average time of posession in 2010 was 28 minutes and 5 seconds. That translates to a "pretty damn lousy" performance... :vomit:


"Pretty damn good" defenses do not allow 70% conversions on fourth down tries.

Personally I think Haslett will be back. Gotta give him some players and a real chance to build the D.

Latest buzz is he's coming back, especially if Zimmer stays in Concy

[skinsfan69]

So Mangini gets fired. I don't understand why Holmgrem didn't bring in his own guy last year.

[hooskins]

SS, so have there been rumblings about changing our FO and/or personnel guys?

Since last spring, remember they tried to add Doug Wiiliams. I dont know that they necessarily want to get rid of Campbell or Mo Brown though.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

I'm not a haslett fan at all. Even when he had the personnel he wanted in previous gigs, his defenses were mediocre on average. I'd hire wade phillips in a heartbeat. He's a great DC and, given that he's been a complete joke as a head coach, i dont think anyones ever going to offer him a HC job again, so he could be a longterm dc for us.

Carolina needs a clue. Let me help: Hire Jim Harbaugh and then draft Andrew Luck #1. If nothing else, it should sell tickets.

If they can't get Harbaugh, they should hire Cowher.

Problem is those two moves would cost them a ton of $$ and it's a franchise that just doesn't spend like that.
