Breaking! Gayle Benson fires Dennis Allen; Loomis discusses Allen’s firing on WWL (pg 46) (90 Viewers)

[SuperSaint]

It was clear from the difference in tone in the two statements From Gayle and Loomis that they didn't exactly see eye to eye on this.

I'm glad Mrs. Benson made the tough decision for the good of the organization. Who knows if Loomis would have ever done it?

I'm listening to the Loomis interview and the shot he took at Duncan was chuckleworthy. "Penalities (we were one of the least penalized teams in the league) speaks more to discipline than where players park for christ sake". He's so logical and big picture oriented he completely is missing the specifics of the details flying under the radar. He sees the forest but is ignoring the trees.

i saw that and thought the EXACT same thing you just stated. Just another example, IMO, of how disconnected ML is from the pulse of the team. That's a problem for a GM, and the fact he can't or won't even acknowledge it confirms for me that Saints didn't just have a HC problem; we got a GM problem too. ML needs to go too.

It's not a raging forest fire like the DA situation. He can finish the season and disappear quietly, but he needs to shut up and quit undermining the OWNER. It's pretty clear he wasn't (and still isn't) onboard with the owner's decision and seems to be getting his jabs in as often as opportunity allows it. You're next Mickey...shall we do it quietly, with dignity and honor; or would you prefer a spectacle? Might be the last shot you get to call in B&G.

Kind of runs parallel to the lack of attention to detail that Rizzi seems to be trying to correct.

I agree on that. I would have been just as happy with Winston who I still believe is a better QB, but what do I know?

More than Dennis Allen.
