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

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.

Yup, totally agreed here.....

Respect? Uh, sorry. But the NFL is a business. Dennis Allen was bad for Gayle Benson's business so she handled it since her manager wouldn't. If anything, I respect her more for that.

Exactly how I see it.....hope she finishes the job and takes ML out of the HC decision process....

The fans had nothing to do with it. This was a move for the players. He had completely lost the team. Benson had to go behind his back to contact the players then pull rank on Loomis to make it.

We won 3 games after he was fired, I'd say the team was significantly better off for it. Rizzi was just given an impossible challenge of trying to turn around a culture that had turned soft for 3 years.

Agreed again, the last few DA games the team was horribly lost. At the very least the players got some respectability back.....leadership is important and while Rizzi was in a very difficult situation, the players did respond, it also shows just how badly DA wrecked the culture of this team.....

Yay! Everyone gets to vent their anger out at ML again, this time for something they already knew and vented out about already!

Pile on…there’s room for everyone!

Not sure what you mean, there are actually posters on this board that have defended ML and have gone as far as to say he was part of the decision to fire DA.....when it's obviously clear he wasn't....
