She made a mistake when she let Payton go and kept Loomis.

Based on some interviews around that time, I am pretty sure it was Cam Jordan.


From what I heard, it was either 2 or 3 players who went to speak to Mrs. Benson about Dennis Allen. I heard this from someone who heard about the meeting and that Dennis Allen was going to be gone, win or lose, against the Panthers.

How Loomis still has her confidence after he was reportedly against firing Dennis Allen last year is somewhat surprising.

Mick has Struckout every Draft outside of 2006 & 2017

Don’t like those percentages, neither do I like Gail Benson’s lack of ability to understand what winning football looks like…

But since he told Gayle the team was going to suck before the season, it’s all good.

She sounds like a lady who married a Billionaire…

The Billionaire husband died….

And all she knows how to do is Spend Money …. Can’t run anything or make competent decisions !!

She was just a wife !!!

Unfortunately, Gayle dosent have the know to be a good owner, only the funds.

Mickey has done the smoke and mirrors trick to manage the organization since Tom died.

She should sell the team to someone that may actually care and participate instead of just listening to Loomis!

She needs to sell the Saints to Graves, so the team stays in New Orleans.

The Pelicans are moving in the next five years.

I’d rather hope Gayle hires a better GM for a few million than hope she sells to one of the few billionaires that would entertain keeping a team in the nation’s 52nd biggest metro in a 50 year old stadium

This is it. It has now been spoken out loud, from the top.


If you really love the Saints, this is the ONLY way.


I am really sorry it has come to this, but OUR ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS, IS TO BOYCOTT THE GAMES.

Stop supporting these shite products.

This is the only way stupid people learn, through pain.

We should’ve been in a fricking rebuilding mode in 2020. But this moronic cocksucker kept restructuring contracts that kept us in salary cap fricking hell that has put us in the situation five years later.

He’s a fricking moron and he should’ve been gone two or three years ago after he had already run the Saints into the fricking ground.

And don’t get me fricking started on his complete fricking inability to evaluate talent in the draft.

This team is just fricked.

Of course she is happy with Loomis. What other GM would want to come here?

Look. Gayle isn’t a businesswoman. She isn’t savvy. She doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. She certainly doesn’t know what it takes to succeed in a highly competitive environment.

And if we are being brutally honest, she isn’t even in touch with the general public to even know there is a problem.



All that seems to be true. My understanding is that Tom pretty much told her to trust Loomis and Lauscha when he was gone. If that is true, it is even harder to fault her for being manipulated.

It's also hard to conceive of a point that she would part ways with either unless Loomis and Lauscha have a falling out, in which case I think Lauscha wins out. So maybe that is our only hope if we want Mickey gone.

Loomis is and has been a disaster ! Of all,the NFL teams, what GM is worse? His history speaks for itself. Lady Benson inherited all,of,this and Tom is probably rolling over in his grave at the way she is managing both the Saints and Pelicans. The only saving grace is that she is committed to New Orleans .

Anyone who is surprised by her comments doesn’t understand organizational leadership


It's quite the stretch to claim someone who could only claim to be an interior designer prior to marrying Benson is some sort of savy businesswoman.
She has not the first clue what she is doing and it shows.
