IF Haslet stays? Plan B

Well if reports are true that Haz is 50/50 to keep his job, I think I may know plan B. Or at least this is what I think Tom should do.

1. Fire (or demote) Loomis. Bring in a new GM (like Pioli or Savage). Give the GM a year to settle in, evaluate the situation and then in 2006 hire/fire/keep whoever he wants to. BUT... he has to do 2, 3 and 4.

2. Fire Venturi.
A. Because he deserves it.
B. Because if he doesn't Saints fans will revolt.
Bring in anybody who has had success anywhere/anytime.

3. Fire McCarthy. Mike just doesn't get it. He seems to force his system on his players instead of letting his players skills influence his system. And he has to be the most predictable play-caller of all time.

4. Replace Brooks. IF POSSIBLE, sign Brees, or nab a Kitna, Dilfer, Warner type and grab a youngster to develop. This team needs an identity change. Brooks is probably as unhappy with the fans as they are with him. We need one of those "trades that helps both sides".

5. Draft-SLB, WLB, OG, FS, SS

6. Free Agency-DT (nose), RT, WR (possession type), LT (if stud is availbale, overpay if necessary)

Of course if Riley continues his career long habit of good-year/bad-year he may approach pro-bowl status next year.
