You want Shanahan for 5 years? Fine. I get that. But for Haslett (or any other assistant coach) to also get 5 years is not necessary for the rebuild. Many assistants leave on their own for another job before they complete five years. In other words, it's normal to replace assistant coaches on a regular basis.

As for Haslett himself, I never liked him as a DC and I would have preferred that he not be hired by the Redskins in the first place. I think the man lacks creativity and is darn near counter-intuitive in calling defenses. I suspect that Shanahan could fire Haslett now and the defense might play a better game against Carolina under an interim coordinator.
