The Dennis Allen era, Mickey Loomis blaming the economy for fans’ reluctance to retain tickets and failed draft picks have soured many on the New Orleans Saints general manager. Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport doesn’t believe ownership sees it the same way as fans, so he has Loomis’ seat relatively cool. He’s at a 4/10 on the heat meter, merely equating to mild pressure on Loomis.
Davenport wrote, “An argument can be made that the Saints need a change. But to date, ownership has shown no indication that Loomis’ job is in real jeopardy.”
Kellen Moore very well could be Loomis’ final shot. If the hire doesn’t go well, then maybe Loomis loses his job. Maybe. It would be his second failed hire. Considering the first one burned spectacularly, it may be hard for Loomis justifying a third opportunity.
The past three years have eroded what used to be a well-built reputation for Loomis. “At one time, he was considered among the best at his job in the game. But that was then—and this is now,” Davenport detailed. If that reputation continues to deteriorate through any of the aforementioned offenses or new issues, Loomis’ seat will get hotter. For now, he has the second coolest seat in the division behind Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ general manager Jason Licht.
