5 year reunion... BEWARE BROOKS FLASHBACKS!!!

Scandalous, I think despite all the faults that the Haslett regime gave, he was a coach that usually put good teams on the field. I mean we only had like 2 losing seasons with him here, the rest were 8-8 and 9-7 and the 10-6 season we all know about. I miss Haslett in a way because for all the grief and the fist pounding rants that came our way under him, it was exciting. The team was always doing something remarkable or insane or just plain outrageous. Sure I wish he could have won more and been more strict with his players, but he won 45 games as our coach, thats 2nd place behind Mora. We haven't had many HC's who had the impact Haz did, for better or worse.
I will always think of Haslett as a coach who at least tried to bring us a winner and for the most part gave us a good direction for the future. At least under him he did make us competitive and we were always in contention for the playoffs. I think we had some bad luck in 2004 where the Jets missed a FG that would have sent us to the playoffs, but we were competitive and Haslett was a hell of a coach, I will never forget his time here


:covri: You are entitled to your opinion.

Mine would be that if Haslett were a good coach, that he'd have won a Superbowl with all of the talent we had. Truth is, Haslett was a subpar coach who had too much going on off of the field, and couldn't find a good linebacker to save his life.

He totally disassembled a decent defense by letting Glover and Hand get away and by bringing in Tebucky Jones.....and he allowed Rick Venturi to continue to draw checks from the organization.

Haslett was a scurge on this franchise, and I'm glad he's gone. I will give him credit for being the coach for our first playoff win......he was a Hakim muff away from losing that game, however.....

Sadly, he was probably the second best HC we've ever had behind Mora....Stram and Ditka had success with other teams....and the book has yet to be written on Sean Payton....hopefully when all is said and done he'll be the best bar none.
