Why is Haslett still our DC?

Meanwhile, the Redskins did not have a dreadful defense, and that's what is hard to stomach. Shanny should've worried about the offense first, and leave the defense alone. I don't see why Haslett should be faulted. We did not have a 3-4 personnel, and we forced a 4-3 personnel into a 3-4 defense. Now we just have to stick with it until we get the right personnel and the team gets this scheme down.

This.

I had trouble with focusing last year because i couldnt stop thinking about this. Now we dont have anything to work off of. We dont have a good offense. We dont have a good defense. We have a terrible owner. We arent young. In addition to gaping holes we currently have to fill, well have more holes as older players retire/ get injured. Way too many question marks. We have nothing to build off of. At least the Raiders have the best punter/kicker combo in the game, our special teams play is average at best (and im only saying that because of Banks).

Before last season i thought we could turn the team around within a couple years and be a consistent dominate team. Its not that i feel like thats impossible now, its more that i feel like we could easily be in for another 10 years of a combination of mediocre and terrible play that has become a staple over Danny's tenure.

Right now if I was a player I wouldn’t want to come here, unless the only thing that mattered to me was money or just making a team.
