You mean he had a window seat riding the coat tails of a Sean/Ireland "Architect" don't make me laugh. It was pretty common knowledge Sean was de facto GM after the 1st yr here, and Ireland picks the talent.
Loomis wasn't a talent evaluator when he was hired, then or now. You ever notice Loomis never stood on the table for any draft pick.....good or bad. Because he never picked them. Ireland was brought in to pick talent. It is obvious he has done a great job on defense. The O line picks are Sean/Loomis's picks. You could tell it was Sean who made the picks.
