Excluding Jerry Jones and Mike Brown, Mickey Loomis is the longest serving true GM being in the job since 2002! just over half the teams have had a new GM in last 5 years, 4 of them being new this year!
definitely time for a set of fresh eyes

Who do y’all think we should set our eyes on? It’s obvious Mickey needs to go, but who would be an ideal fit to replace him 🤔
He’s not getting fired. I don’t know how many times it has to be said in this subreddit for braindead people to get it through their thick skulls. He’s not getting fired. He’s not getting fired. He’s not getting fired.
Two things this board gets wrong consistently
1. Thinking Loomis will get fired (he’s going to retire whenever that is)
2. He will trade back from a pick (done it once in 20 years, consistently trades up)
Loomis won’t retire, but he should step back to an operations role and hire some somebody younger and personel-focused make the contract decisions
I do agree it’s time for a new person in that GM role but we all know, as others have mentioned, that Mickey has the job as long as he wants it.
I also have no hope whatsoever in Gayle Benson’s choice to replace him, so may as well let him play it out.
The only way Loomis gets replaced is if he decides to retire
The best we can hope for is him stepping away and taking another position in the organization
If that doesn’t tell you something is wrong then I don’t know what will. There is a reason GM’s don’t last this long, complacency. he absolutely needs to be sent packing.
I get that we probably won’t fire him, but it does not mean we can’t say that it’s fucking time for a new GM. If we just sit here and accept it then we know nothing changes, but pressure on social media is a real thing that affects how owners hire and fire people all the time. Why not get loud? What exactly do we have to lose?
He helped lead us through the true dark ages and we’ve been essentially relevant his entire tenure. Even predating Brees/Payton. That being said, if the Kellen Moore regime fails, and I absolutely hope that it doesn’t, it would be insane if he kept his job through back to back failed coaches
Mrs. Benson will never fire Loomis, but he needs to look himself in the mirror and see that the game has passed him by and retire. The product he continues to put on the field is laughable!
What most get wrong is he doesn’t make the fucking picks at all.
He is an accountant by trade. The saints employ 22 humans in the scouting department.
The coaching department has more than thirty people.
All those fifty plus people talk and they then make a pick not just mickey.
