Mickey Loomis doesn't get it.
The longtime Saints general manager spoke on WWL radio in New Orleans on Wednesday and expressed disappointment by the sea of silver and blue in the lower bowl of the Caesars Superdome during Sunday's 33-28 Lions win.
"That's disappointing...But I understand the economics of it...season tickets are expensive and you can't go to every game...But I was a little caught off guard," said Loomis, seemingly unaware that fans aren't bothered by paying for season tickets but are instead fed up supporting one of the most disappointing teams in the league.

Saints general manager's comments reveal a shocking lack of awareness

Loomis doesn't need an understanding of the sudden psychosis of the unwashed masses in the Superdome. Those matters are beneath him.

Mickey Loomis doesn't roll with the tide. He makes a long term plan and sticks with it while making modifications along the way. He has given DA a three year plan and he'll be back again for next year.

Knee jerk reactions after losses are what keep a franchise in the cellar. Look at Jerry Jones And Al Davis if you want to look at how owners who follow the mob mentality ruin top draft picks.

Loomis might fire DA if he craps the bed the reset of the season. But, most likely, Loomis will fire PC after the season as a scapegoat to appease the fans. But unfortunately, DA will be back!

Mao had 5 year plans. Do we need to see 50 million people starve to death to judge that the DA hire ain't working when he has never beat a winning team with its starting QB active in 5 years as a head coach?

There were many calls for Al Davis and Jerry Jones to fire their GMs over the year. Neither ever fired themselves. Al Davis and Jerry Jones are actually examples of why a team should not keep a GM for 20+ years when his success is in the rear view mirror and he is way too old. The lesson of the Raiders and Cowboys is FIRE MICKEY LOOMIS!!!

Ever thought of tattooing that on your forehead?

Al Davis and Jerry Jones are actually examples of why a team should not keep a GM for 20+ years when his success is in the rear view mirror and he is way too old. The lesson of the Raiders and Cowboys is FIRE MICKEY LOOMIS!!!

In the four major American team sports, here is the list of GM's who have served longer than Mickey as GM:


Brian Cashman (Yankees)
Jerry Jones (Cowboys)*
Bill Belichick (Patriots)*
Mike Brown/Duke Tobin (Bengals)

Pat Riley (Heat)*



The guys with a (*) are current/future hall-of-famers who might have a few blind spots but are all far, far more intelligent men than Mickey by a country mile.


That leaves us with Cashman (4 championship rings) and Brown/Tobin (Bengals had a mediocre existence but have been killing it the last 3+ years). While Loomis has more or less been going in the opposite direction of the Bengals. And we aren't run anything like the Yankees, actually more like the Mets - disastrous win-now strategies get used and we think the franchise is God's gift to sports just because we won a championship or two in the past.


Mickey is a do-nothing optimist with zero objectivity.
