Guilty as charged....

I\'m done giving Haslett anymore chances. I have not liked what I\'ve seen since the 99-2000 season. My main beef is not the fact that they lost to the Colts, but how they lost. If the game would have been close, you wouldn\'t have near the animosity from the fans towards the team that you have today. The big problem is that they quit, or gave up. To me, that is a reflection on the coaching, which is why I believe that in order to right the ship, they need to make some changes. You can point the finger at Benson, but we all know that he controls who is hired and fired in the front office, not on the field. I don\'t think that it is his responsibility to be down on the field trying to motivate the team. And I sure as hell do not want him to have any say as to what players are drafted or signed. Just look at the teams where the owners do get involved with aquiring talent, Arizona and Cincinnati (pre this year) as an example, and see the negative results that can take place.
