That's all well and good and I'm thankful for most of the years that he gave us but it doesn't change the fact that he left this team in bad shape and quit. I don't even think the off-season was over before he said he wanted to be a coach again, just not for us.
Maybe if he left us with at least a decent QB then I'd be more forgiving but nope. Imagine what we could have done in this division with Lamar Jackson. He saw the mess he helped create and bounced. The final parting piece was to recommend Dennis Allen for the job. He was in the spotlight for one year and everyone but Loomis could tell he wasn't fit to lead, no way Payton didn't know his personality after working with him for all those years
