Considering it's Haslett's most recent stint Fletcher is commenting about I think it's even more concerning. His job before that Washington gig was for the Florida Tuskers in the UFL. Although he did when coach of the year in the UFL if you put any stock into that.
Considering he's just coaching linebackers he might not be bad but I don't see why anyone would be over the moon for this guy.
Jay Gruden came from the UFL too, just sayin. I'm not over the moon for Haslett, but I'm not judging him based on the opinions of 1 player from a franchise that has a history of dysfunction and players bashing coaches. Like I said, he could've been upset with his role or maybe they butted heads. Like Fred mentioned, there was a scheme switch to 3-4, and those are usually pretty rough initially.

That record of 45-51 is almost identical to Marvin's record of 46-49-1 through his first 6 seasons.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
