Breaking News: Saints VP Mickey Loomis Makes Shocking Approach as He Set To…Read More…

The New Orleans Saints are once again taking the long view as the offseason begins, a familiar approach under longtime executive vice president and general manager Mickey Loomis.

While impatience brews among fans eager for quick fixes after another disappointing year, the organization appears content to stick to its established rhythm rather than rushing into changes.

Following the conclusion of the 2025 season, Saints leadership made it clear that there will be no immediate shakeup to head coach Kellen Moore’s staff or the broader offseason strategy. Speaking during his season-ending press conference, Loomis emphasized the importance of allowing the coaching staff time to decompress before diving into evaluations and planning.

“We’re going to get the next ten days,” Loomis explained. “I think Kellen’s letting his staff take the next ten days or so. They’ll come back and we’ll walk through the evaluations, their evaluations of players. And then from that we’ll start generating our offseason plan.”

That measured tone may frustrate segments of the fan base calling for swift action, particularly after a 6–11 finish highlighted by offensive line inconsistency and uneven special teams play. Online discourse has already targeted specific assistants, but for now, the Saints are showing no urgency to make public moves. Around the league, patience is the prevailing theme, as numerous head coaching vacancies have placed many teams in a holding pattern.

The Saints’ deliberate pace also reflects lessons learned from Moore’s first year at the helm. Hired later than most head coaches last offseason due to his extended run with the Philadelphia Eagles, Moore was left with a limited pool of available assistants. As a result, he inherited several coaches and reassembled others with prior Saints ties, rather than building an entirely new staff of his choosing.

That experience could influence how Moore approaches the 2026 offseason. While nothing will happen immediately, expectations are that he will be more proactive once the evaluation phase concludes. Loomis’ comments suggest the front office wants decisions to be grounded in thorough internal analysis rather than reactionary pressure.

There were flashes of promise during the 2025 campaign, particularly from younger players who showed development despite the team’s struggles. However, the final record underscored how much work remains if the Saints hope to return to playoff relevance in a competitive NFC.

For now, the organization is staying true to its identity: methodical, patient, and resistant to outside noise. Whether that approach yields better results in 2026 will depend on what happens after the quiet period ends. When the Saints finally do act, the expectation is that the moves will be deliberate—and, in Loomis’ mind, worth the wait.
