pram11 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 does Mike make a move. I know it was said here last week that Haslett will be back, but a lot of Shanny's moves seems to come from nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You might want to change your title before a mod does it for you. Back OT, I think that Shanny gives him another year at least. These last two games we've shown flashes of being a really good defense. With a few more pieces in place next year, we'll be even better. It's just foolish to only give a coach one year.

ABSTRACT Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 He was playing a 3-4 defense with 4-3 players. Why would he not be safe?? Don't you wanna get 3-4 players in here first before you start knee-jerk reactions? Is that you Vinny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Sparano was an offensive line coach down in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derskinsfan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Shanny's history in Denver showed that when things went wrong, he picked a target (some might call it a scapegoat) to shoulder the blame. In Denver, it was almost always the DC. He changed them like socks. I think that tarnished his reputation in coaching circles a bit. Who wants to be hired by someone to look bad if it all goes wrong. He probably didn't/doesn't care that much about what people think — but he also might have learned something. I'm guessing he keeps Haslett another year. I think this year the "targets" are players like McNabb and Big Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'm pretty confident in saying he's safe for at least another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pram11 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Most people don't even remember that Sparano was Marty's TE's coach here in 2001. As for Haslett and his supposed improving defense, you guys do realize that we held one -- count 'em one -- opponent below 300 total yards ALL YEAR? I wouldn't get too caught up in the last two weeks. They played a Jacksonville team without its best player in Jones-Drew and still allowed Garrard to throw for 299 yards. And the Giants are playing with a depleted WR's core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnominal Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 yes he is safe. Can fire a man playing a 3-4 defense with 4-3 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would have preferred that Haslett was never hired. His resume is awful. I was scratching my head over that one and Jim's done nothing to change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think he will be back next year hopefully with some players for the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would have preferred that Haslett was never hired. His resume is awful. I was scratching my head over that one and Jim's done nothing to change my mind. I agree. He likely IS safe, just some of us wonder if he SHOULD be, especially when we felt it was an uninspired choice in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 when we get a NT, two ILBs, and a FS, and our defense is still ranked 32nd, then we can fire haslett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VetMinimum+Incentives Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The overwhelming sentiment is that he is on borrowed time and its just a matter of observing pleasantries until Shanahan feels he should be released. The only real question at this point is who will take over for him. The smart moneys on Mangini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derskinsfan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I seem to recall that Haslett was hired because SHANNY wanted to run a 3-4 and he needed a coach who had experience with it. It's not like Haslett came in and said "we need to run the 3-4, I don't care if we have the players for it or not." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually believe he said no coaching changes are currently "planned", which as we know could mean anything hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
