</header> Former Redskins linebacker and current CBS Sports analyst London Fletcher was on That Other Pregame Show Sunday morning and did not pull any punches when it came to talking about current Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett.
Fletcher, who played for Haslett for four seasons, wondered how the defensive coordinator still has his job and more or less uncorked on Haslett, calling him "clueless" and a back stabber.
"Why does Jim Haslett still have his job as defensive coordinator after five years of ineptitude at the defensive coordinator position?" Fletcher asked. "He is clueless as a defensive coordinator. He lacks attention to detail. He lacks feel on how to call a game. Some of the calls he used to call when I was playing were head scratching. They were so bad I used to change them –- ‘We're not running that.' And we'd get off the field and he would ask, ‘Why did you change the call.'"
Fletcher explained on the show he would say, "'Because that's just a dumb call. That's why I changed it.'"
Fletcher then proceeded to state that Haslett's been making "excuses' "for years" and "throws everybody under the bus."
"For years he has always made excuses. One minute it was ‘We're changing from the 3-4 and we don't have the right personnel.' Next minute it is salary cap. Next minute it is Mike Shanahan. Next minute it is injuries," Fletcher said. "Mike Shanahan recognized early that this guy does not know what he is doing. And he tried to help him out… And what does Jim Haslett do? He threw (Shanahan) under the bus just like he throws everybody under the bus, players and coaches included. He is a guy that does not know what he is doing."
Fletcher then proceeded to point out Jay Gruden should "watch his back" because Haslett is "probably back stabbing" him "like he did everybody else.

He is clueless. He has no idea what he is doing. Believe me, I had a front row seat for four years.
Fiery words from the biggest leader of the Redskins defense during the majority of Haslett's run there.
The dialogue spilled into Twitter, where Haslett's son took to his dad's defense, leading to Fletcher's response below.
