But Haslett refused to let him go. He's the main reason why we never pushed beyond 7-9 & 8-8.God! Venturi!!!! There’s literally people on this board that should have been part of that staff before Ole Rick lol
I met Haslett one time at the old Grand casino prior to Katrina in Biloxi, MS. I walked away thinking two things after about a 5-7 min conversationBut Haslett refused to let him go. He's the main reason why we never pushed beyond 7-9 & 8-8.
Yeah, man, look at those all playoff wins Hebert had with the Dome Patrol. He totally didn't piss away one of the best defenses in NFL history.The insanity of saying brooks was better than Archie is ridiculous. Hebert was better than brooks. Jim Everett was better than brooks. Jeff blake was better than brooks. I could go on. No one in their right mind would say brooks was better than Archie. Period.
That and our ex-NFL linebacker couldn't spot LB talent to save his life.But Haslett refused to let him go. He's the main reason why we never pushed beyond 7-9 & 8-8.
Yup he put a tarnish on Art Shell as he came out of retirement to coach the raiders againYeah, I'll defend Brooks to a degree (see my above reply) but Brooks did absolutely nothing after he left NOLA (he looked absolutely awful in his brief stint with the Raiders), so I think he was done.
Said this several times before on other posts. When it came to car racing Meacom was a beast. Won the Indy 500 with Graham Hill had other top notch drivers like Roger Penske. Imagine how it would have been had this translated to football.I consider two eras of Saints football. The first was Meacom when the team was ran by a trust fund kid and the Benson era. And they are totally different. Like night and day.
Yes Hebert choked in the playoffs but remember we were in the same division with one of the greatest dynasties in pro sports. Hebert rarely lost against AFC teams. Too bad we weren’t in the AFC or in a weaker division.Yeah, man, look at those all playoff wins Hebert had with the Dome Patrol. He totally didn't piss away one of the best defenses in NFL history.
I still remember that Buffalo game in N.O close to the end of the 92 season. I was high on that team. But that game made me realize Saints were far from being a SuperBowl contender.Yes Hebert choked in the playoffs but remember we were in the same division with one of the greatest dynasties in pro sports.

I said "at times" (in another post in this thread). Brooks was awful at times. Look so was Brett Favre. The problem with Brooks that the "good" wasn't a good as Favre's "good" and his "awful" was way worse than Favre's "awful."Brooks was not awful. Haslett, maybe.
He played like arse in the playoffs. Doesn't matter how you try and what-if it, he was terrible in the playoffs with an all-time defense backing him up.Yes Hebert choked in the playoffs but remember we were in the same division with one of the greatest dynasties in pro sports.
