Gayle Benson fires Dennis Allen; Loomis discusses Allen’s firing on WWL (pg 46)

I’m not speculating is my point. Youre connecting dots. Be honest and connect this dot, if we were 7-2. Would we be having this conversation? It’s because we lost, is why. And why did we lose? We ran out backups 8 of 11 missing offensive players. These are facts. A guy defending a good coach is not a bad thing. What would’ve been bad, is if ML turned heel and took parting shots like a coward at DA. Instead he tried to preserve the man’s dignity. And people are using a high moral move as weakness. What went wrong for the Saints, is that we lost. Period. Unfortunately change had to occur, and DA had to be the fall guy. ML isnt supposed to be happy about it. Until we find out if GB went around ML i will not form opinions. What are the odds really that it was Gayle? The first time she does anything football related, besides supporting a Watson signing attempt, she out of the blue, fires the coach? lol. I think we need to wait and see

Nice way to see it.

I get Loomis defending him because it's accurate, if were 4-3 or even 4-4 right now, he's not fired. If we win that game, he's likely not fired. Allen lost his job because he wasn't a good enough head coach to overcome those things. Something as simple as going for it on 4th down could have saved his job... Something as simple as having the players backs during the Atlanta fiasco, could have saved his credibility.

He wasn't good enough, and that was obvious in the final loss to ATL last year, and he likely should have been fired then. Everything else that happened after w/ injuries etc was just the universe clearing the way for the obvious to happen, OR giving him an opportunity to grow as a coach.

He didn't.
