Jim Haslett Orleans Quotations

You don't have to feel sorry for this team. The players are going to do the thing they want to do, and that's play football. You look at the people back on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans and what they've gone through the last two weeks and how they're living. Don't feel sorry for us. We're fine.

I think the best thing we can do as a football team to keep the Saints name out there, to keep the city and the Gulf Coast region out there, is to win games. I think that this team, we can keep the Gulf Coast and New Orleans alive by just winning football games and raising a lot of money for the area.

I think it was a good mix (of fans). I saw a lot of New Orleans fans up there and people that came over from the state of Louisiana and Mississippi. I thought the reception was outstanding. I forgot about the kickoff when all the flashes went off. I thought we were at the Super Bowl.

It was a mix of New Orleans people and San Antonio people. I think you saw the result. It helped our football team.

I'd like to be back (next year) but I'm more focused on what we have to do to win these next three games, and when those games are over we can focus in on what can we do to make this team and this franchise better no matter where we're located, whether it's San Antonio or New Orleans or Los Angeles or whatever they decide to do with us.
