Overview: Following the 2000 season Jim Haslett was, to steal a line from James Cameron’s “Titanic�, the “King of the World�. At the very least he was King of Carnival in the “Big Easy�. He had just led the Saints to a division title (the old NFC West) and the first playoff win in franchise history.

Expectations were high for the budding juggernaut that thrilled fans with tough defense and a big-play offense.

The luster of that great 2000 season wore off when the team went 7-9, 9-7 and 8-8 the following three seasons. Great starts were followed by inexplicably terrible endings in each season, resulting in missed playoff opportunities and angst among the Saint faithful.

If you’re looking for the coach on the hottest seat in the NFL, look no further than head Haslett. The former linebacker has assembled a great staff, plenty of playmakers on offense, and a talented defensive line Yet each year they are, by many accounts, the NFL’s number-one underachievers.

Franchise stability is also in question as the Saints are fighting with the city over improvements to the Superdome to help generate revenue and there is a possibility within the next few years they could be looking to move.
