Hey Ho, Haslett has to go! (or maybe not)

firstdown · 10-29-2012, 10:15 PM

Why not just fire all the coaches.

kct1975 · 10-29-2012, 10:38 PM

Yes Haslett is a has been and needs to go!

Eknox · 10-29-2012, 11:19 PM

Mangini is out there and knows.the 3-4.

Riley is a bigger coverage liability than Orakpo? I don't think so.

Never said that he wasn't but to get our best guys on the field you would have to use Orakpo in a similar capacity to the way Blache used him his rookie year. I just wanted to take the opportunity to point out that Riley has been bad in coverage this year though it's not entirely his fault as he's been matched up against guys he shouldn't be covering on a somewhat regular basis.

Smoot has always blamed the coaches for everything. His post game analysis is pretty annoying to be honest.

I think Haslett should get at least five years. It takes time to build a defense. Some of you bozos want to blow everything up because of three bad years. That's horrible! We've had no continuity in the coaching staff. Shanahan said it would take 5 years to rebuild. Lets wait until at least 2014, then revisit this.

You are absolutely correct. The last thing this organization needs is another change.

Perhaps instead of looking to fire coaches, Snyder should look at bringing in a real GM, giving him authority over the draft and FA signings. Allen is a designated hand shaker, while Shanahan is the one really pulling the personnel strings. Having a real GM with teeth has served the Giants pretty well over the years (George Young, Ernie Acorsi, Jerry Reese).

You think we've done a poor job acquiring players?

You want Shanahan for 5 years? Fine. I get that. But for Haslett (or any other assistant coach) to also get 5 years is not necessary for the rebuild. Many assistants leave on their own for another job before they complete five years. In other words, it's normal to replace assistant coaches on a regular basis.

As for Haslett himself, I never liked him as a DC and I would have preferred that he not be hired by the Redskins in the first place. I think the man lacks creativity and is darn near counter-intuitive in calling defenses. I suspect that Shanahan could fire Haslett now and the defense might play a better game against Carolina under an interim coordinator.

rypper11 · 10-30-2012, 08:36 AM

I voted no but if he's lost Fletcher, Alexander and other players than it probably is time to go. I don't think in-season is the time though. The Eagles showed that firing a DC mid-season doesn't make for a quick fix.
Riveria sounded like he expected to be on the way out during a radio interview last week and that was before another loss. IMO he's auditioning for other teams the rest of the year.
As for offseason replacement I'd like Riveria, Greg Manusky or Keith Butler. All guys with 3-4 experience. IMO a switch back to 4-3 would mean another overhaul of the front 7.

We should start blitzing more. Much more. If they can't cover maybe they can blitz. Which should help coverage if the QB doesn't Haslett all day.
