Haslett to Bills ???

saintz08 · 01-06-2004, 12:41 AM

A Buffalo insider report , reports :

The Bills and Fassel as well as representatives have had some discussions, but nothing fringing on offering him the Buffalo job.

The wild-card in the Bills coaching situation could be local man Jim Haslett, currently head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Our sources say that Haslett would like to leave New Orleans and become the head coach of the Bills. The problem right now is New Orleans owner Tom Benson will not release Haslett and has not appeared interested in negotiating a deal to secure Haslett's services, for a draft selection or player(s).

The often mentioned "escape clause" in Haslett's contract with the Saints that would allow him to leave if offered the Buffalo job never actually existed. So Benson would have to let Haslett go for him to enter the field of Bills coaching candidates.

My personal favorite scenario .

Haslett to Buffalo for a first round pick .....

Brooks to trade in draft pick option .

Armed with 2 first round picks and a veteran Qb to trade , the possibilities look great .

Hire Coughlin , who Benson is already comfortable with , and sign Brunell to tutor Eli ....

Coughlin going to the Giants -not Saints. I asked a sports broadcaster in San Diego if he thought San Deigo would take Brooks for the first pick. He bite, HELL YES! They want a qb.

Is there anyone on this board that spreads conspiracy theories and rumors more that 08? It\'s like reading a soap opera. Let\'s call it \" As 08 makes my stomach turn.\"

The answer Billy, is No, there is nobody better at \"the spin\" than 08. Believe NOTHING the man posts. Strange that he\'s built up quite a following, just remember what the wise man said about those who claim to know it all and you\'ll be in good shape.

I\'m freakin\' BACK BABY!

:P

saintfan · 01-07-2004, 08:48 AM

Thanks tweek...er uh...Danno. Contrary to the 08 propaganda machine I wasn\'t burning vacation days. I was watchin\' you guys. Sooooo many times I wanted to chime in, but I\'ll admit I was starting to take things a bit too personally. When I left I was the learner, but now I am the master! LOL...or something like that.

Thanks too you too Billy. Nice to see ya keepin\' the faith...something a lota folks here just don\'t have. I\'m with ya man.

At this point I could care less who is coaching the Saints. They could get Hillary Clinton to coach the team as long as they JUST WIN BABY!!!!

Dead Can Dance. :P

If all things go right, I\'ll be moving to your neck of the metroplex, saintfan. Be on the lookout, I\'ll be the one driving the black and gold SUV, running people off the road on draft day

I\'ve actually seen two other cars up here with Saints stickers B&B. C\'mon on over. Counting you that\'ll make four of us...the few and the proud. Just make sure you watch out for the Addison Cops. Their only redeeming quality is their SUV patrol units are purple and gold! LOL
