Coaching Situation

You make a good point, Shreveportsaint. I used to think that a former player as coach would be a good thing. Now I\'m not so sure. Maybe being a former player has made Haslett to willing to stick with players that aren\'t playing up to their capability; maybe too hesitant to pull them. We certainly need a coach that can be disciplined and instill discipline in his players. If a player keeps jumping offsides or such, then the coach must have the guts to chew them out and even pull them for a few plays to ensure they get the message. I\'m not sure Haslett can do this. He seems to be too loyal; too loyal to players who often play rather mediocre and too loyal to coaches who just can\'t get the job done.
