I think most everyone is in agreement that we have average coaches at best. My personal opinion is that Haslett has fallen short in many areas. However, I have always believed that the players(talent) had more to do with winning than coaching. I think most coaches would agree with that and I've heard many coaches state just that!

I think if we would have had another coach, like Bill Parcells, that we would have probably gotten to the playoffs. But, I don't believe coaching would have made us an elite team. Hey, if it's that simple, let's just keep the players we have and find us a coach. Right?

Right now, the coaching staff is the favorite "whipping boy", but let's not fool ourselves into thinking we will be a Super Bowl contender with the same exact players that we have.

I think there are two things that EVERYONE needs to understand about next years team:

1. Jim Haslett will be our coach.
2. Aaron Brooks will be our QB.

Now, some folks want one, or both of these 2 gone. I've said I would like a new coach, but ya know what? Since Haslett is going to be our coach, I will hope he improves on the things that I feel like he needs to. Of course, since I have no coaching experience, I understand that I could be wrong about Haslett and I indeed will be pulling for the man.

Next Subjects:

1. Success -- I've read some of those that say if a team doesn't make the playoffs, then the season is a failure! Well, that's your definition of success, not mine. Making the playoffs is not a success to me. Winning the Super Bowl is success and everything else and your a loser. There is only first place and loser. However, I said that only to make a point. Success to me happens on many different levels and it's too many for me to list. I just don't like when other members try to define the word success for me.

2. Excuses --It seems like everything Jim Haslett says is an EXCUSE to some members. Sure, he makes some excuses, but he says many of the same things most of the members here say. There is actually a lot of truth to what Jim Haslett says, I just think some are so ready to bash the guy that they don't really bother listening to what he has to say. Also there are members getting called out on here for making "excuses" for this team and it's coahes. Hell, if that's the case, I can say the samething for every post made about the Saints. What might be an excuse to you is a valid reason to someone else.

I'm now done with my lunch and if I have anymore brain strorms......I'll let ya know.
