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

It is stuff like this that reminds you that NFL football truly is a "fraternity". DA will get new life somewhere else. Few coaches curl up and never get another opportunity in some form, unless they managed to get a permanent exile like Gruden.

On the whole, the NFL treats coaches like poorly-recyclable material: they get re-used and re-sold multiple times, while rarely changing their packaging or primary function.
