I would think negatively, however more people than ever are hearing his name now. The buzz is definitely there.

I applaud Fletch for telling it like it is.We all make comments on these forums bashing this coach or owner or player(s)..finally someone who has actually played on the team comes out and tells it like it is!! Haslett should have been let go long time ago! I would be willing to bet you that he actually thinks he could be the head coach of the Skins..so he could be sabotaging his team to get a foot hold on the job..with all the drama on this team don't say that is far fetched..Brian Mitchell says some hardcore stuff about the Skins all the time and he id 100% correct.. I will say that the smartest person I EVER heard talk football is TREVOR MATICH ..he should somehow be a part of the future of the redskins..He has a great insight of the game and players very few ever get..Dan Snyder could do a lot worse if he listened to B Mitch and Matich!

I don't think anyone is upset with Fletch for saying something, it's how he said it. B Mitch and Matich, they just analyze what they see. And I've never seen them personally attack anyone on the staff. And maybe I'm young, but I don't recall B Mitch or Matich ever attacking coaches they worked with to the point of calling them basically stupid. And definitely not going after their family members.

People who give a damn, can find a tactful way to say anything, even negative things, but Fletch just doesn't care about offending people at this point.





... p.s. Like I said earlier, if Fletch wanted to make a difference he should've opened his mouth when he was actually under contract. I don't understand what the point of saying this now is, regardless of if it's the truth or not.

Fletcher sure knows shitty play when he sees it, no doubt.

He saw enough of it from himself on tape the last couple of years.

[SmootSmack]

I gradually lost respect the last couple of years he was here for Fletcher, but probably lost it all yesterday

Not clear to me why there's so much focus on Fletcher? He's shedding light on a dark room where nobody's been able to find the light switch. There's been so much discord inside the franchise these last few years, seems like Fletcher is pointing at Haslett as a major source. Backstabbing and rumor swirling has been a big problem right?

Never took Fletcher for a nice guy. He was all about the business and there's nothing wrong with that. Now he's in a a different area of the business, but approach seems pretty consistent. I wouldn't write him off too quick.

I mean, are folks defending Haslett now?

Everyone-front office, coaches, players, media-covered for Fletcher over an over. He retires, has no real interaction with the team anymore and then puts out a premeditated attack on basically the one guy who defended/protected him more than anyone else.

Motive? Angle?

What was Fletch's motive? Is that what you're asking me?

I don't know. More exposure for his new career perhaps?

Zero blits on 2nd and 20 is about as stupid as it gets. Even i don't do that in madden. Jim is very stupid. As for the back stabbing, I don't have any insider information but London does and based on the body of his work I will defer to him. As for speaking up earlier, you guys know damn well you would have torn into him for speaking publicly. There is no tactful way to say these things and there is no winning with you guys.

[SOUL-SKINS]

I cannot believe that some of you feel bad for Haz. The guy is a joke of a coach. Fletcher is my hero right now.

[SmootSmack]

Fuck London Fletcher.

I don't think anyone is feeling bad for Haz at all. In fact, we all pretty much agree with what Fletcher said, we just feel he took it to the extreme. There wasn't really a good reason for Fletcher coming out in the media and tearing Haz down. Haz is doing a good job of that all on his own.
