Redskins hire Haslett

Posted by Mike Florio on January 12, 2010 9:31 PM ET

After a one-year respite in the UFL, former Saints coach (and Rams interim coach) Jim Haslett is back in the NFL.

A league source tells us that Haslett has been hired by the Redskins to serve as defensive coordinator under Mike Shanahan.

The news was first reported by Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

It's unclear whether Haslett will use a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense in Washington. He once ran the 3-4 while serving as the Steelers' defensive coordinator. With the Saints and Rams (as well as the UFL's Florida Tuskers), Haslett used a base 4-3.

Good hire.

So now with Shanahan and Haslett things are looking up in DC. Maybe now we'll see what Jason Campbell and Albert Haynesworth can do.

Campbell is still garbage and Haynesworth is an overpaid over-rated DT that will not prove to be anything but a albatross on their books.

but Haslett will at least have a little talent to work, maybe the Skin's will actually put a good product together that would be bearable to watch getting beat

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
