Spags just sucked. I don't think I liked anything the man did. Actually, I don't think he did much.

I questioned some of his personnel moves highly as well. We know Loomis isn't a talent evaluator primarily. I think they get and use players that the coaches make the calls on. Like-

Why the hell was Corey white thrown into the fire so mercilessly? Elbert mack was cut at the end of camp. He was later brought back and proved to be a passable (is that a saints D pun?) slot guy. Mack at the season's start might have turned some of the 0-4 start around.

Barrett Ruud- they gave up a 7th Rd pick and by my memory never even gave him any substantial shot at any reps. Then he went on to Houston and played regularly in Cushing's place after he was injured.

Hicks/Ellis- I wanted Fatass out early but there was absolutely no reason for him to get one more rep after playoff elimination. Hicks has some skills that more reps would have honed for this year.
