Dennis Allen confirms that Mickey Loomis was not in favor of firing him after Panthers loss

Expected. Loomis is patient, he likely would have fired him, but not in middle of season. It’s not, never been his MO and though I was happy it happens, it absolutely could have waited till the end of the year because the biggest culprit to the season was injuries.

Those injuries affected Rizzi just like DA.

Now Rizzi did come in and make some changes that Allen stubbornly didn’t, so his firing was deserved but it could have waited because it’s the respectful way to go about things

Injuries weren’t an excuse they were just a fact and he recognized that.
There's another word for patience, it's called being stubborn. Allen should have been fired last year but Mick will not admit he dropped the ball hiring a guy no one else would have hired as HC.
