“So funny how y’all clear away the smoke but leave the fire that fuzzes the smoke, it’s just a matter of time” former HC Dennis Allen claps back at GM mickey Loomis, revealing some secrets, says Saints win is limited until…
Former head coach Dennis Allen has made some bold remarks in a recent interview, clapping back at New Orleans Saints’ general manager Mickey Loomis and offering a candid assessment of the team’s struggles under his leadership. Allen, who was dismissed from his role in 2022 after a series of disappointing seasons, expressed frustration with how the franchise has been run, specifically targeting Loomis’ managerial skills.
In his comments, Allen likened the Saints’ situation to an attempt to clear smoke without addressing the underlying fire. “It’s so funny how y’all clear away the smoke but leave the fire that fuzzes the smoke,” Allen said, suggesting that the team’s visible issues are merely symptoms of deeper, unresolved problems. He implied that until those core issues are addressed—specifically, the management style of Mickey Loomis—the team’s success would continue to be limited.
Allen’s frustration was further evident as he pointed out the lack of effective management and decision-making that has held the Saints back. “Saints got nice players, but Mickey lacks managerial skills,” he said. “It’s just a matter of time before the cracks begin to show.”
While Allen acknowledged the talent on the roster, including some key players, he emphasized that without proper leadership from the top, the team’s potential would not be fully realized. “I was not in a good position to fix him [Loomis], so I took all the blame,” Allen admitted, referencing his own time as head coach and his inability to remedy the issues within the organization.
Allen’s comments are a pointed critique of the Saints’ front office and offer a rare glimpse into the challenges he faced during his tenure. With the Saints’ struggles continuing under current head coach Dennis Allen (no relation), it remains to be seen whether any major changes will come from the management level or if the franchise will continue to face setbacks in its pursuit of success.
