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

I know people assume Loomis would have fired DA after the season, but don’t think that would have been a certainty. Especially if you consider DA a “fantastic coach” and the “circumstances created the record”.

I think he would have fired him post season, had he continued to tailspin. There of course would have been the chance he righted the ship and finished with some wins but doubtful because he had clearly lost his locker room some point during the 7 game loosing streak if not before that.

I also think had an elite QB been available at the top of the draft the team never would have fired DA. We would have let him keep doing what he’s doing right on in the rest of the way and been content to finish 2-15 with a crack at a franchise QB.

The gain of moving up in the draft this season wasn’t worth the locker room. You can practically make a case for any of the top 10 guys being the 1st overall.
