If what Jeff Duncan said was accurate, Loomis should have been fired by Mrs. Benson the minute it became known that SP wanted to come back here and Loomis said no. No matter whether he flirted with Miami or not.
Where was it reported that Loomis told Payton no? It's pretty well known that Payton stated he didn't want to step on Allen's toes and had too much respect for him to take his job.
