Loomis's job safe

I just cant see how he keeps his job as d-coordinator.

Are we talking about Loomis or Venturi? Loomis should go back to Business Operations. If the Forbes numbers are right, the Saints went from being the 8th MOST profitable (operating income) organization in the league in 2002 to being 5th to LAST in 2004. What changed? Loomis stopped managing the organization and began \"managing\" (read working on contracts for) the football players. During that time the Saints have had one of the best cap positions in the league. Loomis is very good with numbers. He should stay, but he should be looking at financial spreadsheets, not player scouting reports.

On Venturi - he\'s not a good coach. He\'s a terrible coach. He\'s never been succcessful in any of the two top spots nor have his players when he was a position coach. Trace the biggest defensive weaknesses of this team back to the 80s and I bet you\'ll find Venturi at every spot.
