LIVE: Saints GM Mickey Loomis postseason press conference

[@honeychilerider]

I can't believe they still haven't figured out how to MAKE THE QUESTIONS AUDIBLE. Sure would be nice if I could hear more than three or four words of a question Mickey is responding to for five minutes.

[@danotrazy]

As long as he is GM it will be same ol same ol!!!

[@jewagr007]

Yea...he wasn't the GM in 2009 so he has ZERO clue how to do the job.

He just ignores reality and pretends like the Saints just eliminated from the playoffs!

Dennis Allen as a head coach: 26-53 Mickey Loomis: “Dennis Allen is a great football coach”

[@jewagr007]

He didn't say HEAD football coach. He said football coach. He IS an exceptional DC.

[@honeychilerider]

@@jewagr007 Exactly.

[@steelbill9689]

Not exceptional maybe good

[@chrispaul4587]

Dude don't even know what draft pick we have bro ... Omg

[@Saintsfan.]

1. Need a great QB to win a Super Bowl it’s that simple 2. Stop with these average players and you should draft players thinking they could be pro Bowlers/great players even a 7th round pick 3. Get fast players

[@misterwallace3479]

Saying that injuries, blah, blah, blah, blah, was the issue. Every team has injuries. The good ones have backup that a good. Loomis' cap issue kept us from getting good backups, that and the last few drafts have not been good at all. Plus, keeping Dennis Allen after last years' debacle of a coaching was pathetic. You have old aging veterans on Defense that can't tackle, i.e. Tyrann Mathieu.

[@chrisjr2001]

It’s saddening how he’s the executive vice president of the Pelicans & the GM of the Saints! If the last three years of both teams aren’t showing Gayle Benson he’s not very good at his job nothing will.

[@PierreP-p4t]

Right

That bald spots almost as bad as his gm skills 💀💀💀💀

Key takeaways. 3 years old the fans were right for not wanting Dennis Allen!

[@dlp2600]

Look beyond results comment tell you all you need know about this guy mind set. Him avoid certain questions after month & months of him not speaking to anyone is eye opening, I'm convinced as long as he is in charge this will be hard to turn around. The process that this organization has done things isn't working more why can't he get this.

[@kim100364]

This S.O.B. still saying we have to look beyond the results! Unbelievable❗️

[@JayPaulGaming]

As soon as DA had to have Carr I knew this team would be absolute TRASH and will be until Carr crashes out of nola.

[@Saints_Tigers_Demons]

Looking beyond the results again!!! But c’mon, with so many things not in control, is it safe to say that after 5-12, the Saints organization is spiraling “out of control”? Feels like we still haven’t hit our floor. This the best we can do to represent this city and state on a national stage? Damn man.

[@2dat115]

Look beyond the crap results of negative cap space and bad drafting

[@kinseylangley7771]

He said he's not as proactive as other gms. Even though you haven't exactly hired a head coach you should know your roster and players who should be let go.

[@arnoldlandry8995]

Why no one man up and ask do the new coach has to retain some of last year coaches

Mickey, we the community want a Winning Team. We Spend our Hard earned money for a Winner. We don’t need a Savior. Our money and passion deserves a Great Team. Focus on winning Football. Let us decide and speak to what that means to us. We don’t need you speaking for us!!!

[@mohavie2360]

i hate all these excuses this dude is making about injuries. these are signs of weak ass leaders who always project the blame onto something else. do you see DETRIOT BLAMING ANYONE with all their injuries?

[@jakekeeton8332]

If anything that makes him look WORSE. He’s done such a terrible job with this roster that there’s no depth. He needs to step down

[@jewagr007]

Because Detroit is the #1 seed in the NFC. They had some very close games that could have gone either way. The difference is they are a team who just went through a rebuild and are coming out of it. We SHOULD have been in a rebuild starting in 2019. Instead we pushed it down the road and made it worse. We are just entering ours. We now have no choice.

[@mohavie2360]

@@jewagr007 whos fault was it to not go thru a rebuild? not all CEO of a company are good at everything. Being a GM of a football team is like a CEO of a company. his ego is whats in the way for this team to ever be a contender again. great leaders know where they lack in knowledge and will hire/surround themselves with great leaders who can fill certain voids. Sean is a great offensive coach but suck on defense. he recognized this and let the D coach do whatever they please on that side of the ball. Sean is not afraid to make a change if things doesnt work out. on the flip side, Mickey dont have the guts to make that change. u heard Dennis said if it were up to Mickey, he wouldnt have let DA go. does this sound like a great GM who would make the right decision when things get tough? in the end, Mickey need to go and be replaced by someone who is starving to win. a hungry man will eat whatever is neccessary to survive while a rich full man is very selective of his meals. Old Mickey is full from all those years and is complacent. there is this other guy name Khai Harley, a hungry younger man, who is starving eating in all the leftovers off of Mickey's plate. tell me who you think have a higher ceiling between them 2? im going with the younger hungry fella.

[@jewagr007]

@mohavie2360 you can blame it all on ML but you can be wrong too. I fully believe that Sean was the main reason we are where we are. ML takes some of the blame but SP was the one pushing to "run it back" with Brees. 2016 was the starting point of our cap issues and it progressively has gotten worse since. ML is to blame for not starting the rebuild in 2019 however, in 2019 we had a core talent pool that was good enough to win the division and get to the playoffs. It didn't work so here we are. I am not an advocate for ML however I do believe that the situation this organization is currently in does not come close to resting solely on ML.

[@mohavie2360]

@@jewagr007 healthy convo.. yup, i could be wrong too since i do not know whats going on behind closed doors. what i do have is the proof of what we have seen on the field. Sean is now with Denver, in his second year with whatever talent he has. lets say it was Sean who had those powers here and would have in Den as well. just comparing the leadership we have here on the saints WITH virtually the same leaders we had when Sean was here, i can see our current Saints team is lacking that punch. then i watch that Den team from afar, during the season and in the playoffs. the mentality of the who team seem awefully familier to me.. that is the Saints team that was once here. i am not crying about losing Sean because he was just burnt out from sitting in one place for 16yrs and given us everything he had. i am very thankful for his gift to all of us. however, today as i see our saints organization, this whole team is missing that spark, hunger, energy, from top starting with Ms Gayle to all the way down to the equipment person. a great leader knows when to take the blame and put it on his/her shoulders because that will make them grow. weak people/leadership make bad times and we are going thru bad times.

[@toddlee4457]

He hired one great coach and one bad one. This is his last shot

[@ObeyMeSon]

My biggest takeaway from this press conference is whoever he hires (hopefully AG) the hc has the reigns for staffing. Look, even if Mickey believed DA to be a good football coach, no matter how much he liked his defensive mind (I did too) if its not working do not waste the whole season trying to prove it right. DA was not for the Saints and needed to move on. If Baun was not gonna work under the system why not go for a trade? Why let these dudes walk? If we have 61 players on contract then okay cool but the cap needs to be fixed either way. Finally, Im glad his biggest concern is injury prevention because supposedly the reason Kubiak's system was failing was due to certain guys not being on the field. Not gonna get fixed overnight but I feel this is his last year to be right or he's gone.

[@mikewolverton7904]

Who is AG?

[@walterheisenberg251]

Mickey is bulletproof and AG is Aaron Glenn.

[@mythrapi73]

@@walterheisenberg251 AG is DA 2.0 but just not as good at being DC...the Lions gave up tons of points last year and only made it to the playoffs with theri offense. If they had to depend on the defense they'd have missed the playoffs

[@walterheisenberg251]

@@mythrapi73 well they had ton of injuries but yes I’d agree. The difference with the lions injuries and ours is that they have drafted so well over the past four years that they actually have depth and high end talent. The saints don’t.

[@brandonthomas8888]

Fire this dude get Drew Brees as the GM

[@honeychilerider]

Love me some Mickey. Obviously a guy who knows more than all the media and fans combined and is doing his best to humor everyone and manages to do it without seeming condescending. A guy who understands the process better than anyone who doesn't do it and probably better than at least half those who do and is clearly a very smart, very thoughtful professional.

[@mythrapi73]

A typical Saints press conference where you can't har the questions being asked. Typical of a shoddy af run organization
