Joshua RobinsonGUEST
Um, a guy like Howie Roseman, you know, was, went and got his law degree, never played a down of meaningful football, um, and got his job famously by writing to every front office in the league and begging for a job until someone said, "Come work, uh, you know, on the end of this desk," and then working his way up.
Joshua RobinsonGUEST
But the other guy we think about and that we, we spoke to extensively for the book who was one of the first people to develop this and, and really exploit this void year technique to keep a championship window open was Mickey Loomis with the New Orleans Saints.
Joshua RobinsonGUEST
He's the longest tenured GM in the league, and what's so fascinating about him is that his background is in accounting.
Joshua RobinsonGUEST
And he was one of these people who was drafted into the, you know, the actual football operations part, um, of the front office when the salary cap came in in the '90s.
Erin SummersGUEST
I think it was surprising that they let a few players go, that they had invested in like bug means one of the wide receivers that was drafted three years ago and didn't really have an opportunity because he had been injured and I think people were all excited about seeing him this year but they ended up waving him so I think it just shows again how much better Barry and Brown are highly the Saints are looking at some of these real young talent and trying to develop those guys, I feel like they're really leaning into just youth in a lot of different positions right now, which is different.
Erin SummersGUEST
We talked about the coaching changes, but it's also a little bit different with the new era under Coach Moore and Mickey Loomis admitting that it may be a little bit of a rebuild that they are dealing with at this point.
Jason HarwoodHOST
So we've talked about the offense.
Jason HarwoodHOST
After the break here, we're going to talk.
Jim AyelloHOST
Like almost everybody, I like, it's, it is crazy to look at like the GMs who have been there long.
Jim AyelloHOST
Mickey Loomis, Superbowl winner, Howie Roseman, Superbowl winner, John Schneider, Superbowl winner, Les Snead, Superbowl winner, Jason Light, Superbowl winner, John Lynch, Ben to two Superbowls, Brandon Bean.
Jim AyelloHOST
I guess you could say that one's the most disappointing, but they're in the playoffs every year.
Jim AyelloHOST
The Buffalo bills, Brett Beach, Superbowl winner, Brian Goodenkoots team goes, they don't win divisions, but they go to the playoffs every single year.
Adam LewisHOST
Then you finally lose to the Panthers.
Adam LewisHOST
Miss Benson goes around Mickey Loomis, the GM, goes to the locker room and says – What the hell is going on here? What are we doing? And the players said, it's the coaching.
Adam LewisHOST
It is Dennis Allen.
Adam LewisHOST
And that's why we ended up moving off of him.
John PozGUEST
Later he was reinstated, but he was banned.
John PozGUEST
Mickey Loomis, the GM, was suspended for eight games.
John PozGUEST
Joe Vitt, the assistant head coach, was suspended for six games.
John PozGUEST
And then, um, that's pretty much it.
Drew MagaryHOST
Uh, I am curious, I don't believe in the Saints, this preseason Saints hype whatsoever.
Drew MagaryHOST
Like, the idea that Ty Shuck, who is 57 years old already, is gonna magically be, like, the answer for a team that, as far as I know, is still mired in cap hell from, like, the Brees years and still has the, the chief money waster, uh, of the NFL in Mickey Loomis running everything.
Drew MagaryHOST
I'm very dubious as to, as to the Saints'.
Drew MagaryHOST
Uh, I know they play in a shit division, Arif, but I'm not sure, uh...
Rob JennersHOST
Blake Williams got fired.
Rob JennersHOST
General manager Mickey Loomis suspended eight games.
Rob JennersHOST
Jonathan Vilma got a full season ban, which later got overturned on appeal.
Rob JennersHOST
And the Saints lost two second-round picks.
TJ WengertHOST
Honestly.
TJ WengertHOST
Um, I didn't think I'd say this in the year of our Lord 2026, but hats off to Mickey Loomis.
TJ WengertHOST
I did not think he would kind of turn that cap situation around while also building a pretty interesting young nucleus.
TJ WengertHOST
I thought if they turned the cap around, it would be like, yeah, okay, they're tanking.
Steve LetiziaHOST
Don't overthink it.
Steve LetiziaHOST
Which is like
TJ WengertHOST
Mickey Loomis, the amount of times he's reached on that tracy edge rusher, the Marcus Davenport to the world.
TJ WengertHOST
Let's get back to basics here.
TJ WengertHOST
I'm, I'm kinda digging where their team building is going, honestly.
TJ WengertHOST
Um, I n- I didn't think I'd say this in the year of our Lord 2026, but hats off to Mickey Loomis.
TJ WengertHOST
I did not think he would kinda turn that cap situation around-
Steve LetiziaHOST
Yeah
Steve LetiziaHOST
Don't, don't overthink it.
Steve LetiziaHOST
Take him, take him
TJ WengertHOST
... which is, like, Mickey Loomis, the amount of times he's, like, reached on that, like, uh, Tre T edge rusher, the Marcus Davenport of the world.
Steve LetiziaHOST
Yeah.
Matthew ParrisPANELIST
I'll go true.
Matthew ParrisPANELIST
I think Mickey Loomis is always looking for opportunities to uh upgrade this team we've seen him be uh you know cool with uh parting with draft picks i know he loves a good six for seven swap um and so i i could just see uh that you know i don't know how big the acquisition will be i knew that was coming that's
Zach EwingHOST
we need to get naked i don't think it's going to be
Matthew ParrisPANELIST
for like joey porter or christian gonzalez or something but There are just areas on this team that you could look at, too, like cornerback being one that you're like, oh, this would make sense to, like, if they're close to contention or, you know, need something to help get them over this division race, I could definitely see them taking a flyer.
