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.

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.

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

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

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)

Oh yes, that juggernaut offense with Rex Grossman at the helm throwing picks, not converting on third down, and leaving our defense out on the field for extended periods.
Of course you could counter with our running game improving (one of the best down the stretch). I would counter that with something else.
But as we all learned, Haslett was given a contract extension. He's not going anywhere. We are they New York Jets and give contract extensions when we insult someone in house, a la Mark Sanchez.

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?

Old news. Extensions done last offseason.

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