Owner Voices Fan Frustration
Saints owner Gayle Benson addressed the team's 1-4 start by stating that the results are not acceptable and that fans deserve better performance from the organization. She noted that supporters invest their time and hearts in the team and are right to expect more after a three-game losing streak.
Responsibilities Assigned Across Staff
Benson pointed to multiple areas of accountability, starting with herself as owner. She stated that Kellen Moore and the coaches must prepare players to perform, while Mickey Loomis and the football staff are responsible for building a roster that achieves sustained success. Players themselves must handle their own preparation and execution on the field.
Recent Losses Highlight Ongoing Issues
The owner referenced the Week 4 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football during the 20th anniversary celebration of the Superdome's return after Hurricane Katrina as truly disappointing. The team stands at 7-15 since Moore took over before the 2025 season, and Loomis has been general manager since 2002 without a playoff appearance since 2020.
