The Building is on FIRE and Mrs Gayle Benson’s CEO is watching it burn.

So you judge Mickey Loomis only on time with DA? What about the previous 16 years? This team has been good for a long time and ML has found a way to get players signed, resigned, structured etc.

He is one of thd better GMs in the league.

And for those on this site calling out Mrs. Benson. We don’t have rich companies and people capable of buying an NFL team in New Orleans. We’re lucky she’s kept them here.

Blaming Mrs. Benson is Chicken S by the way. The best type of owner stays out of the way and lets the football people run the organization. If DA has another non-playoff season, I’m sure a move will get made.
For 40 years the Saints fired people right and left. It didn’t work.

I agree that you can't remove the previous 16 years for Loomis before Dennis Allen. However you can look at the years that he didn't have Sean Payton here. His records in those years are 9-7, 8-8, 8-8, 7-10, and 9-8. I'm not counting 2005 for obvious reasons, I can't hold that against him. Its not a huge sample size but if you look at those records I have to say he's pretty consistent. You can pretty much say that unless he gets a good to great coach this franchise will just be the definition of mediocrity.
