More From The Times-Picayune | Subscribe To The Times-Picayune Haslett to return after strong finish Benson, GM Loomis encouraged, negotiating extension for Saints' coach Saturday, January 08, 2005 By Jeff Duncan Staff writer Jim Haslett is returning for a sixth season as the Saints' head coach and perhaps longer. Haslett was given assurance by owner Tom Benson that he'll return next season during a meeting with Benson and General Manager Mickey Loomis in West Palm Beach, Fla., Loomis said Friday night. Advertisement Haslett also is in the process of negotiating a two-year contract extension for himself and his coaching staff, two team sources said. The deals could be finalized as early as next week |

I\'m stunned.
OK, I came to grips with Haslet staying, because if he surrounded himself with better assistants this team could win despite Haz. So if Venturi and McCarthy were replaced it gave me a sliver of hope. At 1st, I heard no mention of our assistants staying, only Haz. Is it true Venturi/McCarthy are returning? Please say it aint so, please :weepy: . Oh jeez, I\'m gonna throw up.

Didn\'t Benson learn his lesson with Brooks? Don\'t extend Haslett\'s contract until he makes the playoffs... even then, they better play much better ball with far greater consistency for me to think the guy deserves even the minimum of consideration.

Sorry to say Danno, the joke gets sicker. Haslett was quoted as saying he was not gonna replace anyone in his staff in the Mike Shepperd article I posted, first line. And everyone thought I was out of my mind to say we should tank the season at 4-8 and ENSURE change. Here we go again.

I believe it was said previously Halo by another member, but if Haslett believes Venturi and McCarthy should stay, I hope Benson insists he gets rid of them to the point he decides to quit. Although with the pride Haslett has, I doubt he will quit and will force Benson to either accept it, or fire him. Like it says, should be interesting.

i can understand keeping him one more year but extending him when he hasnt made the playoffs is ridiculous.
