Saints head coach Jim Haslett will return for a sixth season in 2005. Owner Tom Benson assured Haslett of his job security on Friday. "There's been a lot of speculation about the coach the whole year, and we wanted to get that behind us as quick as possible," general manager Mickey Loomis told the Associated Press. Haslett owns a 42-38 record, but the Saints have not made the playoffs since 2000, the coach's first year.

Haslett has two years and roughly $6 million remaining on his contract, and previous reports suggested that was the main reason why Benson would retain the coach. Saints' fans can look forward to another rocky, heart-attack-inducing 8-8 season in 2005.
