Without Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis record is 32-44 right now

Mueller got axed after the 01’ season. Benson claimed it was due Mueller not consulting him on the Ricky Williams trade but it’s been speculated that he was fired for non-football reasons.

So technically Loomis became full GM in 02’ with an inherited coach.

He hired Payton. That earns him a pass on Allen in my book. But what he does going forward is going to determine his worth in this rebuild.

I agree with everything that you said above. But Loomis already earn his credit as being one of the best GM in the NFL with the hire of Sean Payton, which lead to a Superbowl title, several NFC Championship appearance, and several NFC South division titles.

Besides Loomis was responsible for countless transactions that made the Saints one of the best teams in the NFL for 15 years. So I don't think the Mickey Loomis needs to evaluated anything. He's already proven his value.
