Can a working coordinator be hired mid season?

No. Thats what the Pat staff was griping about last year. All these assistants were getting interviews and the league rules say your season must be completely over before you can be contacted by anyone.

Unless there\'s a decent DC and OC sitting at home right now we\'re stuck with what we have.

I\'d fire Haslet, promote Venturi as interim, appoint Pease as DC, and hold on to McCarthy until Jan 2nd, about 3:15pm.

I\'d then hire a solid GM and let him figure it all out.

I\'m starting to think that my brother had the right idea: Convince Benson to turn over the franchise to his Granddaughter who seems to have somewhat of a clue.

The above plan is disappointing. This year is lost already. It\'s not outside of the realm of possibility that this team won\'t win another game this year. And it\'s almost all scheme and lack of discipline coupled with some really poor personell choices (like both offensive (and I do mean offensive

) tackles).

My fear is that the Saints win enough games just to be less that mediocre. Just enough games to keep blowing sunshine right up the fan\'s butts. Enough games to keep Haslett and his crummy coaching crew around.

Hell, Dan Reeves is sitting at home. Entice him to come finish the season.
