Haslett, 32, follows his father's footsteps in New Orleans, Jim Haslett who served as the Saints' linebackers coach and defensive coordinator (1995-96) before becoming head coach (2000-05).

During his six seasons as head coach, Jim Haslett's teams posted a 45-51 record, with a 1-1 mark in the postseason and a division title in 2000.

The younger Haslett joined Dallas in 2020 as an offensive quality control coach, working with tight ends coach Lunda Wells. Under his guidance, former Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz posted career bests in 2021 with 78 catches for 808 yards and eight touchdowns.

In 2023, Haslett helped tight end Jake Ferguson earn Pro Bowl honors with 71 receptions for 761 yards and five touchdowns.
