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

DA absolutely deserved to be fired mid-season, and it would have been irresponsible not to. The product on the field had become unwatchable. The players were bordering on mutiny and would have started turning on eachother again like the year before.

And through all of that, Allen did not lift a finger to address any of. And apparently neither did Loomis.

Allen got fired because the players wanted him to be fired. Allen got fired because fans stopped coming to the game. Heck, fans stopped even talking about the games. This forum was a ghost town (myself included).

We may not have won many more games than expected under Rizzi, but we competed. They players actually tried. There was a reason to turn the games on. I will happily take that over dragging a broken lockeroom and fandbase over the finish line to spare a mediocre coach's pride.
