Has New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen lost the locker room? In the eyes of general manager Mickey Loomis, the notion couldn’t be any further from the truth.
Loomis, after days of speculation, took time Wednesday to address the chatter that has followed Allen since Jameis Winston’s questionable call to pivot from his coach’s plan and score a one-yard touchdown late in the Saints’s 41–17 Week 18 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons.
When asked to respond to the outside noise, Loomis flat out blasted Allen’s critics, labeling the idea of any discourse as “stupid” despite the coach ending Year 2 at the helm in a bit of controversy and short of the playoffs for a second time.
