Is There Really A Mickey Loomis?

Second, perhaps I am wrong in asserting that the general manager is supposed to be the organization's football face. Perhaps in an organization like the Saints where Payton is so skillful dealing with media and the public, the head coach is the public face. But one major interview in the month after an unsuccessful season?

Scott Pioli or Bill Belicheck? Bill Polian or Tony Dungy?

Coaches are almost universally the face of a franchise. General Managers tend to prefer to stay out of the limelight. Better job secruity that way.

With the authority comes responsibility, which includes accountability. The team's fan base has a right to hear the top guy on the football side answer two simple questions: What went wrong? And how do you plan to make it right?

Not really, no.
