Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis is responsible for the club’s entire football operations. The departments that fall under Loomis’ direction include coaching, player personnel, salary cap management and contract negotiations, as well as athletic training, communications, equipment, and video.

Loomis was promoted to General Manager in 2002 and earned the additional title of Executive Vice President later that year. His title and authority have evolved but he has been a part of the club's highest management team since arriving in 2000. In his former post as Director of Football Administration, Loomis handled contract negotiations and managed the salary cap.

In 2006, Loomis was a key figure in hiring coach Sean Payton, signing QB Drew Brees and in the Saints having one of the most productive drafts in club history. After rebuilding the roster, the club finished 10-6, defeated Philadelphia in the playoffs and advanced to the NFC Championship Game for the first time.

Following the season, Loomis was selected as the 2006 NFL Executive of the Year by Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America and was also honored as the George Young NFL Executive of the Year by The Sporting News, voted on annually by league front-office executives and owners. Since February, the team has re-signed several key veterans – including DE Charles Grant, LB Scott Shanle and DT Hollis Thomas – added a handful of productive free agents and had another solid effort in the draft.

In 2005, Loomis helped lead the club through unprecedented challenges for an NFL team. His influence guided the players and staff through a sudden evacuation from New Orleans and several moves of the team's base of operations.

Loomis – also the General Manager of the New Orleans VooDoo of the Arena Football League – was a guiding force in the 2003 construction at the Saints' headquarters, a renovation that has given the club one of the NFL's top facilities.

Prior to joining the Saints, Loomis spent 15 years with the Seattle Seahawks, including as executive vice president from 1992-98. He joined the Seahawks in October 1983, was promoted to vice president/finance in 1990 and to executive vice president in 1992.

A native of Eugene, Ore., Loomis has an undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Oregon and a master's degree in sports administration from Wichita State University. Loomis has two children: A son, Alex, and a daughter, Katherine.
