NFL Futures: Katrina Kills Thousands, But Saves Haslett

READ MORE: Dennis Green, Head Coaches, Jim Haslett, Mike Martz, Mike Tice, NFL Futures

At the beginning of the NFL season, many bookmakers saw great payoff potential in New Orleans Saints’ head coach Jim Haslett being the first coach to get canned in this 2005 season at 5/1. But now Haslett has become the head coach of “America’s Team” and unless owner Tom TK is the cruelest man to ever walk the face of the earth his job is safe. However, things are not so good in Arizona and St. Louis. Even though Martz won this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals, there’s plenty of thoughts that if Martz continues his foggy-headed coaching and costs the team anymore games he could be the first to go. And with Dennis Green talking big when he first arrived and still not exactly tearing up the very weak NFC West, the thoughts are his very expensive tenure could also be cut short. And then, of course, there’s the Seattle Seahawks’ Mike Holmgren who has yet to guide his Seahawks to a playoff win. He could be one losing streak away from getting the booting, as does the pencil-eating giant, the Minnesota Vikings’ Mike Tice, who, um looks like he’s headed for a long season. And then there’s Dave Wannstedt, who even though is coaching at the University of Pittsburgh, will probably still get fired from some NFL team before the season’s over on general principle alone.
