Gayle Benson fires Dennis Allen; Loomis discusses Allen’s firing on WWL (pg 46)
Completely speculating here but I believe the massive walk out of fans in the third quarter of the Denver game did not sit well, at all, with Mrs. Benson. The optics of it are enormously bad. Sean Payton comes back to town. Drew Brees is honored at halftime. The Saints are horrible and fans leave in droves…..on a national television broadcast. The Panthers loss was the nail in the coffin for DA and justifiably so.
Loomis has an ego the size of New Orleans as many if not all executives and players do. They are never wrong. He was going to prove that he is right to the detriment of the team and the fanbase. Mrs. Benson was not having it. If anything, she is 100% for the city of New Orleans those who support it.
I would not be surprised at all if this is Loomis’s last year with the Saints.
Again, pure speculation……
