HAZ WANTS EXTENSION NOW

A league source tells us that Saints coach Jim Haslett wants to hammer out a contract extension with the team before the 2005 season begins.

The Saints, on the other hand, prefer to take a wait-and-see approach on Haslett's status beyond the coming season.

There's speculation in league circles that Haslett might tell the team that there will be no discussions until after the season if an extension isn't in place before the September 11 opener. In so doing, however, Haslett would be taking a big risk. If the team starts strong, the powers-that-be might choose to re-up the head coach. If he refuses and the team thereafter goes into the tank, he might find himself out in the cold come 2006.

Halo- This would be a great place to put a Bare Assed smiley ......

Players first... Deuce, Bentley, Mike ..... Pookie, Dopey, Jim, Billy, Brad ..... waterboy ..... mascot.... receptionist ..... janitors ..... then Haslett.

Another bad season with Haslett = poof. Let's see how he does this season and whether or not he "earns" a contract extension. Another 8-8 season does not and will not warrant an extension.

Screw that extension. Excuse me Haz, but I believe you are the only coach in the NFL who has not made the playoffs for four straight years and still has a job. If not the only one, one of very very few. Suck it up, take this team somewhere, and then get yours. Where is the Haz signed a contract he should honor it crowd? 8)

Scary scenario:

Haz holds out and Venturi is appointed interim Head Coach.

If that crap would ever happen, just move the Saints out of New Orleans please... I wouldn't be able to take it anymore!

Scarier scenario is :

Hasbeen gets a long term contract .

The coaching drone continues to try and find his way in the dark .......

What I have been hearing is that the Saints are waiting this out to see how the season goes... Someone they would like to bring in could be Jeff Fisher.
