December 9,
1955 in
Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania) is the defensive coordinator of the
St. Louis Rams. He is the former head coach of the
New Orleans Saints of the
National Football League.
Playing career
He attended
Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and was selected in the second round of the
1979 NFL Draft by the
Buffalo Bills. He was a

(External Link
) He was awarded Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1979.
Coaching career
New Orleans Saints
He was named head coach of the
New Orleans Saints in January, 2000. That season, he guided the
Saints to a 10-6 regular-season record, their second
NFC West title, and the first playoff victory in team history as they defeated the
St. Louis Rams, before falling to the
Minnesota Vikings the following week. As a result of the Saints' turnaround from their previous 3-13 season under previous head coach
Mike Ditka, Haslett was named
NFL Coach of the Year.
In 2005, Haslett's sixth and final year with the Saints, the team stumbled to a 3-13 record after
Hurricane Katrina forced the team to temporarily relocate their operations to
San Antonio,
Texas, and play three of their home games there (in the
Alamodome), four in
Baton Rouge at
LSU's
Tiger Stadium, and one at
Giants Stadium in New Jersey against the
New York Giants. Despite Haslett's strong leadership during a difficult season marred with extensive traveling and substandard practicing conditions in San Antonio, it wasn't enough to save his job.
Personal
Haslett once owned a horse ranch in Gasport, NY called the 'Double Nickel'. It was named after his playing number 55.
