Gayle & Dennis Lousche made this call
We are not one of the worst teams in the NFL we lost to the worst team and have the same record and since they beat us and we have the same record that makes us the worst team and as a saints fan I'm not pleased but I'm definitely up for the shakeup hopefully we do it right to be back as a contender even though it will take a few years
Good coaches can win despite injuries and DA proved he can't win consistently and as much as I like him and wanted him to succeed for some reason his track record shows he constantly loses as a head coach. As a defensive coordinator as really good but that's it he has limitations and that's ok as long as he and any organization can understand that I
Mickey Loomis is NOT a good GM like one of you said. Loomis does not value draft picks and trades them away like they aren’t worth anything which is why we have no depth and very little talent and stay in cap hell.
Loomis sucks as a GM sorry but this is just a fact. Prior to Payton he didn't do anything as GM had losing record, after Payton losing record and it has gotten worse. Problem is he made all financial decisions & draft picks both have been horrible. Loomis arrogant attitude is why this team hasn't progressed his recent comments after Allen was let go & on WWL just sounds like a tone deaf & delusional people are sick of this crap! Until Loomis accepts responsibility & moves out of the way this team will still have issues. Scouting department sucks Loomis has completely flooped in this department.
Mickey Loomis is at fault for this mess with the salary cap. The cap hit on derek carr is really costly .mickey loomis is irresponsible meeds to be fired
Mickey Loomis has destroyed this team.as long hes here they will always be mediocre to bad.gail get rid of him
This team is going nowhere as long as we have Mickey Loomis as GM. Sorry
Mickey Loomis is not a GM , this guy gets fleeced by other GMs. Other GMs always laugh behind his back by stealing our draft picks on poor deals
Looking at the entire picture I think discipline was a problem under Sean Payton too. You could tell that Michael Thomas was a problem for the last 5 years and I don't just mean injuries. He started by running his mouth in the media against Drew Brees. Right then if I was in charge Michael Thomas would've been set straight or traded. I can't believe he has remained on the roster all the way up till last season after his unwillingness to take responsibility for getting his injury treated initially. MT is a symptom of how no one really head players accountable. MT is a real CANCER but he was allowed to hang around for farr too long. I hink Dennis Allen was too nice of a guy for today's NFL player. Honestly I think it's a really tough job managing today's player. They're all entitled and they all have their race card at the ready. I think that's why so many NFL coaches like Bill Cowher never came back. It's just not worth it anymore
