Was Loomis Taken out of Context By His Remarks (Comparing DA to Coaching Greats)

DerrickB said

When he compared DA having similar starts in his first two seasons as a coach compared to Chuck Knoll, Bill Walsh, Belichick, and Tom Landry, I don't think he meant that Allen would have a similar rise.

It was more of saying what can happen when teams are patient with their HCs when they are first starting.

I have seen a lot of people on Saints Twitter, Saints FB Groups, podcasts, and even the local media that were not too pleased by what ML said.

Thoughts?

He's free to compare DA's 5 year start to Landry, Noll, and Belichick. And we are free to laugh at the comparison, and note that he's pointing to some of the most extreme outliers (only one of which is even still alive) in order to justify his support for DA, and offer our own comparisons - like Raheem Morris, June Jones, and Bruce Coslet, all of whom have better records than DA.

It's not our fault Loomis brought out his 'notes' to throw those all time names out there. If he didn't want to compare DA to those guys he shouldn't have mentioned them and just said, "I think DA is a good coach and will have more success next year."
