Saints GM Mickey Loomis Media Availability’s Live Updates, January 13, 2025 (1 Viewer)

Well we have seen how the Saints do with Loomis But No Payton in 2 different stints (2002-2005, 2022-2024) compared to how they do with Loomis and Payton (2006-2021), and it's pretty clear to me that Payton is not getting too much of the credit LOL.

I'm not surprised by anything I heard today but it was still disappointing. Everyone in upper management on Airline Dr thinks business as usual is just fine but they are collectively running two of the worst franchises in professional sports. The lack of accountability at the very top levels is depressing.
OK, but if you're gonna give him the credit you need to give him the blame for the team he left us with not to mention the cape situation
 
What I find interesting, ML said something I've been saying for a bit now. Some of those teams with mega cap space have a lot of their own FAs to re-sign so that # is misleading. We are over the cap but we have 61 players under contract and not many that need to be re-signed. Some of those teams ith lots of cap space have like 38 players under contract and that cap space will get eaten up when they re-sign their own FAs

Hook, line and sinker.
 
The only thing I liked about that was the new head coach will determine the Quarterback situation or Big Part mean choose between these 2 candidates.... Carr or Rattler
 
people want to sky scream about random one liners like giving a great one liner actually does anything but just put words into existence.

at the end of the day, the tasks at hand are hiring the best coach possible, keep the players that fit into the direction you want to go and draft the best pieces possible. One liners are just words.
THIS
 
We have one current GM and three previous GM’s all looking for a head coach together. That has to be a good thing, right? Four heads are better than one.
I’m not as down on Loomis as a lot of the SR fanbase is but I turned my eyebrows up at that. In theory in makes sense, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that my mind didn’t turn to”If you have 4 leaders, then you have no leaders”. I’m going to assume someone has the final say there but the wording gave me pause.
 
Not gonna lie, tuned out within the first minute when I realized he wasn't stepping away. There is literally nothing else he could have said that I would have cared about other than that.
 
Arrogant, myopic, lazy Mickey...

On the salary cap: 'Hey, there are teams who are similar to us, and there are teams who aren't but will be. I'm comfortable with the cap, or let me say, I'm comfortably uncomfortable.'

On staying with Payton era coaches: 'Hey, people who say we need to move on should take a look at what's happening in Denver and Detroit. I see alot of Saints influence in those cities.'

On injuries: 'That was the biggest story this year. I was talking to Griffin, who joked... must be something in the water. But we're gonna do a deep dive into that, in case we missed something, is there something more we can control, but the Saints' 2024 injuries could just be coincidental.'

On the fans: 'yeah, that's a passionate fan base and that's the disadvantage sometimes, I mean the advantage.'

Meanwhile, here's Howie watching for when Mickey is going to cough up the next 2nd contract starter.

Naw Mickey, it's not just a passionate fan base, it's a knowledgeable fan base that knows what a competent HC and staff look like.....which has been, indeed, a disadvantage to you personally.....

Sorry I couldn't resist.....I think Gayle knocked him down a few pegs, I wish she would have finished the job, but hope he proves me wrong.....
