Mikey Loomis: Its "Stupid" to think Dennis Allen has lost the Saints Locker Room

ELLIASJWILLIAMS said
I wouldn't call it stupid, just not intelligent and that lack of intelligence is usually driven by an extreme emotional attachment to a belief fueled by anger. And where anger resides intelligence does not.

DA didn't lose the locker room but Loomis felt the need to meet with the entire team after the last game of the season, something he admittedly almost never does.... Yeah, that tracks.

I don't know what we were expecting him to say honestly. Would he ever say "Yeah, DA lost the locker room so we're just going to get him a different locker room and hope for the best"? Of course not. He's not making changes and he has to justify it against the prevailing narrative coming out of the last game where the players completely disregarded DA and called their own play. This is 100% the tone deaf response I would expect from a GM that was going to sink another season.

The bigger issue here is that ML set the expectation, he did not throw his HC under the bus, he stood up for him and supported him, exactly what he should have done.
What DA did was the complete opposite by throwing his team under the bus and stand united with his players. Dennis Allen chose not to support his team, that was clearly his decision. Whether Mickey sees that as a problem or not I have no idea. But I can guarantee you any effective leadership starts with choosing what is best for your team and supporting them, not dividing them.
