Jim Haslett could be a fit for the Carolina Panthers’ defensive coordinator job, according to Charles Chandler of the Charlotte Observer.

Haslett and John Fox worked together with the Raiders back in 1994; Fox was the defensive coordinator and Haslett coached the linebackers.

According to Chandler, it is believed that Haslett would like the chance to join Carolina’s staff.

After being told by the Rams that he wouldn’t return, Haslett interviewed for the Packers’ defensive coordinator position, which was eventually filled by Dom Capers. A source told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that Haslett was offered the Packers job, but he wouldn’t accept until the Rams picked their head coach.

When asked to confirm that he was offered the Green Bay position, Haslett declined comment.

He is now exploring job opportunities in Mobile, Alabama at Senior Bowl practices and has been on edge all week, according to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

“I’ve never been in this position before. It’s not fun,” Haslett said. “I’m going crazy, and it’s only been a few days.”

Jim Haslett began the 2008 season as the Rams’ defensive coordinator and was appointed head coach on Sept. 29, 2008.

Under Haslett’s guidance as defensive coordinator, the Rams made dramatic improvements in the running game. In 2007, the rushing defense ranked 20th in the NFL (115.3 yards per game), jumping 11 spots after finishing 2006 ranked 31st in the league. The Rams defense did not allow a 100-yard rusher until Week 16 of the season. The 14-game stretch marked the longest stretch that the Rams have not allowed a player to rush for 100 yards in a game since the end of 2000 in to the 2002 season, when the Rams went 21 straight games without allowing a 100- yard rusher. The Rams also nabbed 18 interceptions, the most since 2003.

Haslett joined the Rams as defensive coordinator in 2006, after six seasons as head coach of the New Orleans Saints. His 45-win total was second in team history. Haslett also led the Saints to the only postseason victory in franchise history.

Haslett guided the Saints to the NFC West championship and their first playoff victory, 31-27 over the Rams, after the 2000 season, resulting in his winning NFL Coach-of-the-Year honors.

Despite having 10 new starters, Haslett’s 2002 squad posted a 9-7 record that included a season sweep of the eventual Super Bowl XXXVII Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints led the NFC with a team-record 432 points.

In 2003, Haslett helped the Saints weather a 1-4 start to win seven of the team’s final 11 games – with three of the four loses coming by a touchdown or less. Haslett held the team together during a difficult beginning and helped keep the Saints in playoff contention until the 16th week of the season.

Prior to New Orleans, Haslett coordinated defense for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1997-99. The Steelers went to the 1997 AFC Championship Game and their run defense was first in the league. Haslett came to the Steelers from the Saints, for whom he was linebackers coach in 1995 and defensive coordinator in 1996. As defensive coordinator, Haslett’s unit improved from 22nd to 13th in the NFL in total defense and from 22nd to third in pass defense.

Haslett made his NFL coaching debut, tutoring linebackers for the Los Angeles Raiders in 1993. The Raiders’ defense ranked in the top 10 in 1993-94. Jim was defensive coordinator for the World League of American Football’s Sacramento Surge from 1991-92. The Surge won the WLAF Championship in 1992. Haslett began his coaching career in 1988 at the University of Buffalo. He was defensive coordinator in 1989-90.

The Observer blog entry was pure speculation. There's no evidence any contact has been made from either side.
