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

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.
