Breaking! Saints fired Dennis Allen (4 Viewers)

[natedog]

Wish it had worked out for him but a change had to be made.

Hey, he and us fans will always have that 2-0 start, how that happened must have just been sheer luck, but I hope DA finds work somewhere as I am sure he will, "it just won't be here" sounds like a breakup song ?

I was actually going to come home tonight and watch my old 2009 season to remember what real coaching and invested players felt like. The Meachem strip fumble, the almost impossible come backs, the glory days . . .

That is the understanding.

I love Gayle for doing this. She cares about the fans.

We somehow got Spags' one bad season as a DC.

He said the main problem was the lack of talent.

I'm so glad that Mrs. Benson had the time to break away from her needlework and scrapbooking to tend to this manly matter. Now she can get back to counting her money and doing woman things.

Why isn't doing the work of team owner a woman thing?

I love Gayle for doing this. She cares about the fans.

She cares about the players too since she got their input first before making a decision. Sad that she had to do Mickey's job for him. Hopefully her plans include a change of scenery for him once the season is over.

I can't believe they did it! I thought we could lose 70-0 back to back and they still wouldn't fire him midseason. I'm almost in shock.

I think it will, her doing this was her way of telling Loomis he is done as GM

Why isn't doing the work of team owner a woman thing?

I'm pretty sure it's a joke making fun of all the people who were saying she was an "interior designer" and didn't care which were all more or less code for she's a woman so she doesn't care or know about football.

It might mean that. And at the very least it is a shot across his bow telling him he needs to do a better job.

Why isn't doing the work of team owner a woman thing?

He's being sarcastic and making fun of the people who were being blatantly sexist about her ability to make football decisions due to her gender.

 

[St. Widge]

I really thought Loomis was going to wait to fire him until the end of the season but apparently Gayle had enough and pulled the trigger.

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

So how long will Sean Payton going to have Dennis Allen on the first flight to Denver?

Why would he want him? He has a better defense and better defensive coordinator than DA already.

 

[anoldfan]

if DA has all of the young pieces and depth on D, he's proven to coach an extremely stingy D.

Until it really counts!
