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

I would have to say that it was "for worse". Haslett, to me represented under-achievement, undiscipline teams, unpreparedness, and a total lack of focus exhibited by his players. He made some of the worse decisions I've seen a HC make in my lifetime. There was no bad luck with Haslett, it was poor executive leadership on and off the field. He showed favoritism to some players and ostracised others. The LBs he drafted, the Jonathan Sullivan debacle, the AB debacle at the end of the 2002 season that cost the team a playoff berth, the late season collapses, using expletives with the officials, were all Haslett trademarks that cost the franchise dearly.

Sure, he did some good things as most coaches do, but the bad far outnumbered the good
Other than the lone 2000 season, which seemed to be the exception and not the rule, I would like to forget his time with the team. Good riddens.
