Saints: Haslett returning

Yeah, an extension makes absolutely no sense at this point, but it is Benson\'s MO to do it. Apparently, he thinks it will give the coach a boost of respect or something. Seems like he would have learned from the Ditka situation wherein Benson gave Ditka an extension shortly before the \'99 season and it worked so well that the team went from two 6-10 seasons to a 3-13. I can understand keeping Haslet because of economics but I can\'t understand putting yourself in a worse position without him proving that he deserves an extension.
