He gives some credit to Mickey on building good teams in the past that most believe belongs to Payton. And you can't have it both ways. If Payton left us with a bad cap in 2021 then he gets credit for the teams he built too. If it was Loomis that built the teams, then he's responsibly for the cap from day 1.
Poppycock. Loomis gets credit for doing a really good job of getting Payton the players he wanted. Loomis has done that with all the coaches. Loomis will do a good job of getting the players the new coach wants.
