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

Saintman Haslett might have gobe back to the playoffs and had a much different career if he had not hitched his wagon to Brooks, or at least cut if loose sooner.

The Haslett Saints were excruciatingly painful to watch. Up one week, down the next. Penalties and mental errors abounded. Much of that reflected Brooks lack of leadership and his own inconsistency, his forgetting plays, the snap count etc.

Haslett's fault was not cutting bait with him the way Cowher ultimately did with Kordell Stewart.

That and being unable to find a linebacker to save his life. 7-9 8-8 and 9-7 were actually among the lowest of the low points of my career as a Saints fan because the team was so predictable in its inconsistency.

It was ugly ugly football.
