I think we need to have a discussion about Gayle Benson’s future as owner

Not just of the Saints but the Pels too. A lot of complacency. No sense of urgency. Letting guys like David Griffin, Loomis feel too safe and secure in continually making the wrong moves and staying stagnant. Sure, she’s willing to spend money for contenders but it also feels like she’s too nice and is letting Griffin and Loomis run things, which has proven to be…not successful.
When will she realize SHE might also be part of the problem?

So what discussion are we having?

Her behavior is like many other owners of professional sports teams. They don't get involved because it's a hobby, not a job. Jerry Jones is the exception.

If Gayle sold the team then the Saints would likely move cities

Are you petitioning she sell the teams?

Well, Mickey Loomis has overseen BY FAR the best run in Saints history. He’s not perfect but he’s not a bum either. There’s plenty reason to have faith in him if you’re Gayle Benson…until there isn’t.
Is Dennis Allen going to be the backbreaker for Loomis? Yea, maybe. But what the Saints have done is a frickton better than a lot of other organizations and there are significantly worse owners out there.

Why discuss things you not only have no control over, you also cannot influence in any way.

It’s pretty simple. She has people at the top of both organizations that she trusts, whether they’re deserving of her trust is up for debate, and she largely allows them to freely run the organizations.

Thank God we have Gayle Benson.

Dude, she’s not capable of making moves.
This isn’t a woman who has operated large organizations successfully and knows how to build something.
What exactly are you hoping for. Explain it. Then take a step back and laugh at the idea of her executing it.

She's a dope who won the lottery for marrying a sick and delusional old man.
She isn't doing anything. She will keep whoever Tom had in place until they fold the tents for good.
Borderline useless unless youre a pedophile priest in the Catholic Church.

She needs to sell the team to Elon.
Posted on 10/1/23 at 5:36 pm to WicKed WayZ
Sooner or later, she will sell the Saints and the Pelicans and the new owners will move the teams to larger, more lucrative markets.

He had his faults but I miss the old man. At least we know we had a leader the NFL owners respected. I don’t know why Gayle hasn’t sold and bought an island to sail to on her yacht.
Posted on 10/1/23 at 6:22 pm to WicKed WayZ
She’s keeping the teams here. If she sells all bets are off

Trust me, there’s no issue of Gayle being too nice. The franchises are
going through a rough patch, and
it’s all cyclical. She also has smart people available to her. I don’t think anyone close to her would describe her as complacent

She won't. She's collecting huge checks for being mediocre. No reason to put out any real effort. Money has ruined sports.

She is not up for discussion as owner until she dies. I believe upon her death it goes into a manageable trust that will find another local owner to take over the team, but I stand to be corrected if I’m wrong.
