I could see why Loomis would go with Allen in the name of continuity.Honestly, this just keeps on getting more embarrassing by the news cycle for Loomis and his decision to promote Allen.
We cant blame Allen too much. He was 8-28 coming in. His record was out there. He wasnt a good coach in Oakland. There were some warnings from Raider Nation that people took as disgruntled former employer type stuff. Or they blamed the franchise for being a dumpster fire. So they hire Allen, and this team takes a half season to light a match in a new dumpster. Shocking.
It was predictable. Like the World Cup being a disaster in Qatar. Some things you see from miles away.
But Im not kidding myself, this season is Loomis' turd. Aint no way to polish it, so you have to flush and get yourself a fresh pot of water.
He was hoping for a Steelers like situation where Allen would last about 10-15 seasons after 16 seasons with Payton.
And it was easy to dismiss Allen’s Raiders record as the work of a dysfunctional organization.
But as the weeks go by, it’s showing that this is who Allen is.
