Saints GM Defends Coach Dennis Allen Amid Criticism

Mickey Loomis Cites Historical Examples of Successful Coaches, Promises to Recalibrate Team Standards

Saints GM Mickey Loomis defends coach Dennis Allen, attributing the team's recent struggles to collective issues and not solely the coach's performance.
Loomis cites historical examples of successful NFL coaches who had losing seasons early in their careers, including Chuck Noll, Bill Belichick, Tom Landry, and Bill Walsh.
Loomis acknowledges the team's shortcomings and promises to recalibrate and hold the team to a higher standard.
The Saints have not made the playoffs since the 2020 season, and have gone 7-10 in 2022 and 9-8 in 2023 under Allen's leadership.
The Saints recently fired offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., who had been with the club since 2006, signaling a potential shift in the team's strategy.
