He should have signed it when it was initially offered since it was absurd that he was offered one after last season. Get us to the playoffs and be at least competitive and we'll see abut your extension.

Venturi was head coach for a bit a couple of years ago. I welcomed the Mike Ditka era with open arms.

I tend to think 8-8 is competitive... I mean we had worse... way worse, lol. I am on the fence on this one. I don't think he is forcing the Saints hand, its a good move contract wise to start negociating now if you want a long term deal on paper now, well its best for the Saints that is. What is bad for the Saints is waiting til the end of the season and get gets up in the playoffs, lets say even deep in the Playoffs its going to cost the Saints BIG bucks. I like where we are sitting so for going into the season so its not a bad idea to inking him to a deal now.

Maybe he'll hold out... LMAO. I don't wish for this because then we'll be looking at Venturi UGH...

I like Haslett. He coaches like I would coach. The only problem I had with him is that he should have demoted the co-ordinators quicker. He was allowing them to do their job without his interference and that was a bad decision. I think if the guy used the control he has we would definately go far. We'll just have to wait and see what happens this year. I agree that we should wait until the end of this coming season to decide whether or not Haslett's contract should be extended.

That will cost the Saints BIG BUCKS if you wait til the end of the season and Has knows this... you either do it now or when the end of the season comes and he has the team in the NFC game... he is going to cost us major bank.

playoffs or no extention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................
