I can understand wanting some of that control after looking at the last 5 years of Saints roster management. But until Gayle decides she's going to make a change what is being requested (or rumored to have been requested) from candidate(s) it's simply not going to happen. A new coach is either going to work with Loomis or they aren't going to be the coach. And no, I am not calling for him to be fired. It's way too late for anything like that. I'm just pointing out the reality. Especially after Loomis' end of year press conference where he said they would be hiring a coach where there was alignment on the vision for the team. Which is a different thing from the FO facilitating the new coaches vision.
