Omar Little Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 For those clamoring for Haslett to come to Buffalo next year, he can't. If he resigns from the Saints he'd have to sit out next year altogether. Saints owner Tom Benson declined Haslett's requests to be fired so he's stuck in New Orleans. Forget about him.

Forget about him. 533379[/snapback] Well...not quite...Haslett tried to resign, but Benson refused the resignation for now...Haslett reportedly will resign again after the season...He's made it know he's gone no matter what...From that point they can negotiate how to handle the situation. Sure Benson can keep Haslett from Coaching for the Full Year that will be left on his Deal...But honestly that will just be more bad press for Benson...not that he seems to mind bad press but...It really does Benson no good to keep Haslett hostage...The reasons Haslett has given publicly through certain insiders have been pretty understandable considering the circumstances... I'm quite sure if Haslett wants to Coach in 2006 something can be worked out...I have no idea if that is what Haslett wants, but by no means is the situation cut and dry or even close to being resolved yet...
