Stupid move in my opinion...He was under contract, and clearly the team will be in a state of flux for another season or two.

FOXSports.com has learned that the New Orleans Saints this morning fired head coach Jim Haslett. Haslett was informed of GM Mickey Loomis' decision this morning and then Loomis met with owner Tom Benson shortly after to finalize the details.
Haslett will now become a hot candidate in places like Buffalo, St. Louis and possibly in New York if Herm Edwards bolts for the Chiefs.

Benson for "####### of the Year".No other coach could have done what Haslett has done with the Saints this year.......and he definitely didn't deserve this firing. No DueceHorn and his hammyBrooks sucked as usualConstant road gamesI'll go out on a limb and say that the Saints HC position will be the VERY last coaching position filled. They are just lining up for failure there.

Stop drinking Joe Theisman's cool aid. Haslett has NEVER been a good coach. He has done less with more talent on a consistent basis. He needed to be fired 3 years ago.

What would Lemmy do?
How'd Haslett do all those other years he coached?Benson for "####### of the Year".

The guy wanted out so badly this is probably the thinnest definition of "firing" this year.
But with Benson as owner, I can see him keeping Haslett just to spite the fans

It was time.The new coach gets a honeymoon first season pass anyway, and it'll be a developmental year for Leinart as well. Not looking for a coach to come in and win right away, but rather develop the young talent and shore up a terrible defense (that's filled with underutilized talent).

He should have been fired after keeping an injured Brooks in the last few games of the season over a healthy Delhomme.

Haslett will go on to win the super bowl in Green Bay next year with Favre giving it one last hurrah.

Then maybe it should have been done 2 years ago. I can't see firing him after the hurdles New Orleans had to go thru this year...........maybe it's a Hurricane sympathy feeling.Benson for "####### of the Year".

This was obviously a stress filled season and it eventaully took it's toll. That being said, Haslett past seasons were filled with inconsistency and mistake prone. In hindsight, it appears he should have replaced Brooks after the first few seasons when it seemed evident that despite the physical talent, Brooks never seemed to grasp reading defenses and was making the same mistakes game after game.As far as the future, I wouldn't say things are as bad as you make it out to be. They will get lienart in this years draft and with thier other picks can shore up thier suspect defensive backfield. In a year or two with good solid drafting and a wise use of free agency they could be competitive again. This is all predicated on thier next coach who I think will have to come in and establish discipline and weed out wasted players who don't play 100 percent.Benson for "####### of the Year".

If I was a legit NFL HC candidate, I'm not sure I would want this job ... as the risks far outweigh the rewards. If you pull of some success, you look like a hero. However, what are the odds of that? From what I've seen this season, Benson is a crazy person and it seems like the NFL is fit to simply make do with the Saints' displacement. I agree with the poster that said this position will be the last one filled.
