Jim Haslett has had a fairly impressive resume when it comes to his NFL credentials. As a player at linebacker, he was named the Defensive Rookie of the Year playing for the Bills in 1979. A broken leg shortened his playing career, but he moved right into coaching after retiring following the 1987 season with the Jets, serving as an assistant coach at the University of Buffalo for three years.
This offseason, the Cincinnati Bengals hired him to do what he does best, which is to show linebackers how to play the linebacker position, but he has been quite a few places between Buffalo and Cincinnati over the past three decades.
