I kind of wonder if Loomis is hanging on to Allen to spite the national media who all had Allen ranked at the bottom of their coach rankings and numerous had Allen as the betting favorite to be the first coach fired in 2024.

The Jets releasing Saleh ended up being the first major coaching move - but also, that move hasn’t led to any change in the Jets fortunes.

So perhaps Loomis is being stubborn or maybe he’s thinking “what good will it do?”

Either way, it’s a drag.

• It shows lack of professionalism in the front office as well as lack of logical emotional control
• The former bullet discourages other coaches from taking the job, knowing they could get canned mid-season, increasing the likelihood of getting a lesser, less capable, desperate for a promotion coach since coveted coaches, and up and coming coaches will have offers from more stable front offices
• A new coach mid season isn't going to suddenly turn your team into a playoff contender, making the playoffs. They could however rejuvinate the team short-term, winning some games but nothing relevant to becoming a stable team (example, Raiders last year with Pierce). The logical thing to do is stick with the original head coach, get a great, very valuable draft pick that will help entice high profile would-be-head-coaches to take the job after releasing the original head coach when the season is over.
