Saints head coach Kellen Moore introductory press conference, media updates, February 13, 2025

I think firing DA was based solely on the performance on the field and what players and staff had to say. I think she just mentioned the fan displeasure for public relations purposes.

I highly doubt Kellen Moore would have signed on with the Saints if there was any hint that what fans think would be factored into the decision making process in any way. I know I wouldn't. Fans don't know nearly as much as they think they know and they never will.

I understand and even agree with the logic, but that doesn't change what Gayle Benson said.

Gayle said she took fan displeasure and player feedback into account. And she said that she communicated with several players before she fired him. Maybe she wasn't telling the truth, but she said it.

But, I do agree that they should not make decisions based on what fans want and clearly Loomis did not want to do that and I doubt Moore would do that either.
