No doubt, the next coach should have an easier time than Shanahan hopefully.. and Zorn .. and Gibbs... and..

LOL, yeah they have a saying down here in New Orleans "Next Year". They always have said this about the Saints, that next year would be their year. I think some of the most shocked football fans last year were Saints fans with their teams success.
I have seen first hand as a season ticket holder here, a team that was a perennial loser, turn around and win the superbowl in 4 seasons. The Saints were 4-12 with all different personnel and schemes. New coaching staff, core players, and philosophy brought a SB.
I think we are heading in the right direction, but we will just have to wait untill the season to see how far we are from being a contender.

haha we'll see.. we've seen a ton of great D-Coords just not make it as HC's.. this should let Haslett focus on his specialty, which hopefully will be quite special

Agree 100% some guys can't multi-task, but when you give them one thing todo they become good at that one thing hopefully that's Haslett.

But Haslett was a DC before an HC right?

Yes, he's been a DC for the Saints and Steelers prior to being a HC and then the Rams for 2 seasons before taking over as interim HC.

correct, seems a lot of the failed HC's go back to it
