No doubt Loomis deserves the blame either way. But since he's not going anywhere right now, at least we know that if he ends up hiring the right coach that does evaluate players properly and does know how to build a roster Loomis will give him the roster he wants. Hopefully without adding void years and singing aging vets to big deals with void years. Of course, if he gets the hire wrong, he will also give the coach the roster he wants.
I'm not totally confident Loomis is going to get this rebuild totally right, but I do think he moved in the right direction last year by not maximizing the restructures and with the Lattimore trade. My main fear is that he's going to go YOLO again spending in free agency and trading up in the draft.
