Did Shanny Strip Haslett of Play Calling vs Rams?

[Evilgrin]

If any of this is true, its best to cut Haslett now, it won't get better.

I find it very difficult to believe this is true. Haslett just a week ago called a heck of a game against NOLA; one game is not enough to strip the man of his responsibilities.

You better believe it. Haslett will not be the DC next year. Very well possible he could be replaced this year if the defense doesn't shape up.

Any chance we can pray the Jets have an awful season and Rex gets fired, and then we can replace Haz with Rex next year?

Right now though, I think this may be a bit overblown.

I thought about this as the Rams game went own. But I didnt voice my opinion to not sound so knee jerky.

It wasn't even a whole game, only three-quarters!
The more and more I think about this, the less sense it makes. You have a defensive coach who brought this team from the thirty first ranked defense to thirteen overall in just one year. He has a bad half and Shannahan makes a knee jerk reaction to let a coach who's defense (Tampa), ranked 30th overall last year, take over playing calling? This was after Orakpo, Carriker and Josh Wilson left the game to injuries! His reasoning would have been better play calling would make up for three crucial parts of our defense? I'm not buying it.
This goes against the grain of how Shannahan has handled other adversary circumstances regarding coaches. If this were true, Danny Smith would have been stripped of his responsibilities long ago.
This is a rumor, and until something concrete comes out, it will stay just that.

[SFREDSKIN]

Yes!! This is what I've saying, I hope it's true. Morris should be the Redskins DC.

[backrow]

I've never been a Haslettusdown fan. Ever! He should never have been hired!

[The Goat]

If there were real sources to this it would be all over NFLN and ESPN etc. While it's probably not true I do wonder if a switch could be good, even mid-season. Haslett calls a bad game too often to make the defense reliable. He's not a long-term solution at d coordinator.

I wish we could have got Wade Phillips here when he left Dallas. Was there a falling out between him and Mike in the past?

It wasn't just a "bad half". Seven out of the past nine games our opponents have put up 30 points (or very close to it).


Cowboys - 27
Jets - 34
Patriots - 34
Vikings - 33
Eagles - 34
Saints - 32
Rams - 31

Haslett was on notice the moment Shanny went out and grabbed Morris without Jim even aware of it. (or no say so either)

Redskins give contract extensions to coaches Jim Haslett, Danny Smith

wtf?!

[SmootSmack]

HogHaven, ES, WaPo,Myself...we all share about 95% of the same sources. and I think we've all heard different things in spite of that. I haven't heard that Haslett's gone after this year, though I know others have. I do know that Raheem has given the appearance of being in control of the D since he arrived but that could be as much about personality as anything else

OTOH, plenty of coaches have been fired while under contract. You just have to keep paying them their guaranteed money.

[Defensewins]

Radio Raheem has more of a say in the secondary play call and in turn more of a say in the entire defensive play calling then the past Db coach. That is all you are seeing. No need to go into panic mode.
