There's no easy way out of this

Or maybe they just promoted him because it kept his team whole with continuity!
How could you take DA’s record as a head coach and translate it into something great? How could you not see his defenses constantly getting ripped to pieces in two minute drills?
Although his intentions may not of been to hire a bad coach, it sure the he’ll wasn’t hiring a winning coach!

Even if they did just promote him for continuity, Loomis would not have done that if the thought he was a terrible coach. And he clearly thought that he would be a winning coach. Nobody hires a coach they think is terrible and can't win. This isn't real life Major League.
