Breer reported that Loomis wasnt ready to fire Allen and that it was Gayles decision. Nowhere did Allen or Loomis say at the time that Loomis told Allen he disagreed with the decision. Or did Loomis say he disagreed with it. It was a report. Not a verbal confirmation from 1 of the 2 people in the room. You did get 2 likes for that bit of misinformation though.

Its different hearing if from the guy who was fired, that he was told that Loomis didnt agree with it. Basically, "Gayle told me to do it, but I dont agree with it". I dont know how that doesnt make Gayle look somewhat bad here. A subordinate, or if we dont like that word for Loomis, an employee questioning her decision to the guy she was firing.

You know what it was the Breer report. I do remember now that it was used as "exhibit A" when discussing whether or not Gayle had to go over Loomis' head/weren't on the same page. So, every one that said... "isn't this common knowledge?" in the Dennis Allen Confirms thread are referencing that discussion/report from Breer.

But let me tell you something.... as a Boss... if my boss tells me that I have to fire someone that I don't want to fire and they are my friend.... I am absolutely going to tell them, "I am sorry, man. I don't want to fire you, but I have to fire you."

Now that that is out of the way. I am the conductor of the Fire Loomis train. I am just saying that this whole Loomis talked to Allen and Allen outted him angle isn't really the angle. The angle always has and always will be Gayle went behind Loomis' back to get information from the team and fired Allen overruling Loomis' decision. As I am sure Loomis and Gayle weren't the only ones in the room making the decision. Loomis was out voted and he did his duty and said "We agreed we had to let you go now." All that is speculative, but that's more damning than "hey buddy, i don't want to do this, but I have to let you go."
