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

That loyalty would be the reason I would fire Loomis. His loyalty was pointed in the wrong direction for a team that's been struggling for years and wasn't going to get better. Hell, I would've fired him for his "loyalty" to continuity knowing the train headed in the team's direction.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying that from the point of view of a potential head coach, it shows that Loomis is very loyal to his hires and will keep them even beyond when any sane person would have fired them. While that sucks as a fan of that team, a potential head coach might like the job security and a GM that has his back no matter what.
