There's no clear choice to replace him now. So wait until the end of the season and get...

Why not let Morris take the reins? How is his rep in the locker room?

Replace one 4-3 guy with another? I'd dare say that Haz knows more about the 3-4 than Morris does so I'm not sure that move would be smart either.


I selected "wait till after the season", but I'm really torn on just parting with him if the Panthers game goes bad defensively. However, I think this is one area that all of us agree that a change has to be made at the DC position.

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

I have an idea. Let's switch for a 4-3 during the bye week.

OK, all joking aside. I don't see how getting rid of Haslett helps. To be clear, there are instances when addition by subtraction is a viable strategy, and D. Hall is getting perilously close to the point where that could happen, but for coaches, that's generally a bad idea unless the locker room is lost. Moreover, on our staff, it doesn't seem like anyone has more experience with the defense we're running. And I don't get the sense that Haslett has lost the locker room (I haven't seen a single report indicating as much, which one often sees when that happens). I do think that the staff is now trying to think about how else it might generate pressure -- I think seeing Baker on the field yesterday was evidence of that (even though it was not successful). I also think they're pushing the CBs to press a little more at the line -- as evidenced by C. Griffin's penalty. But clearly, these things are not enough.

I'd kill if we could get the pilsbury dough boy from Houston.

Awesome thought but I don't see it happening in-season.

Agreed... until we have a good choice of 3-4 coach to replace him we are stuck with him...
