Explain how these are "very different situations" cause I'm obviously not the only one that sees this.

Haslett was NOT bringing in more talented athletes.

My "logic" is why are we passing up talented, highly rated players at posistions we need, like, oh, I don't know, middle linebacker, defensive tackle, and right tackle for the hard working class president safety?

Think we're going to the Super Bowl with Boy Scout Troop 375?

....difference, of course, Ditka thought he was going to will the team into winning just because he was Mike Ditka, and that opposite teams were just going to surrender because they were going against Mike Ditka, to hell with the playbook and actually coaching the team.
Don't compare the situations. They are not even close. Payton is a young coach who's looking to make a name for himself in the NFL, while Ditka both flaunted his HoF credentials and rode the wave that Buddy Ryan's 46 defense created a decade earlier.
