Who's in charge
Unfortunately i think Allen’s success this year makes it impossible for Loomis to let him go even if he would want to. What kind of message does that send to future HC candidates if your expectations are so unrealistic that you fire a coach after two seasons who has shown improvement (albeit against a cupcake schedule) who ended this season with a winning record and nearly the NFC South title?
I mean even Authur Smith got three seasons. I think at a minimum Allen has one more year and if he regresses then it becomes easier to get rid of him.
