Not to take up for haz and this staff, but the whole \"Changes\" thing was uttered once by Haslett, then 100,000 times by us fans and our lovable media. Haz isn\'t fronting the \"changes\" idea, like he did the continuity idea last year. I think its a bit unfair to tag them with that. Its just like the cancer thing. The media labeled one guy we cut a cancer, and for the next 3 years every time we cut anyone it was because \"he was a cancer\".
Free-agency hasn\'t even started, and we\'re already hearing about the Saints not doing anything. McCarthy may have been exactly the big change Haz was talking about. I think replacing your OC is a fairly big change. Of course, they left one out but it was a big change. But make no mistake, McCarthy was let go. He did not just decide to leave.

We replaced our OC with one has has proven to be a good one. he\'s not just some hack assistant we promoted.

We replaced Venturi, albeit in the most polite way I\'ve ever heard of. What the hell is a defensive assistant?

We just replaced our O-line coach, albeit in just as polite a way as the Venturi \"promotion\".

I think we\'re all just frustrated because the main changes we wanted were to replace Haslett, Venturi, and McCarthy, and Loomis, and Meuller. I\'ll wait till free-agency and the draft before I label this off-season a bust.

I think the main changes are still to come. Here are some possibilities that I think would qualify...
1. Replace/trade Aaron Brooks
2. Cut Jonathan Sullivan and move on.
3. Replace Tebuckey Jones and Jay Belamy.
4. Sign a stud FA LB, or two.
5. Trade Howard.
