Saints Fire Head Coach Dennis Allen

News summary

The New Orleans Saints have fired head coach Dennis Allen following a disappointing 2-7 start to the season, including a seven-game losing streak, the longest since 1999. Owner Gayle Benson expressed her regret over the decision, acknowledging Allen's loyalty and professionalism but ultimately deeming the change necessary. Darren Rizzi, the special teams coordinator, has been appointed as the interim head coach. Allen's tenure with the Saints ended with an 18-25 record and no playoff appearances, highlighting failures in both coaching and roster management. The Saints now face challenges ahead, including a problematic salary cap situation and aging key players, which complicates the search for a long-term head coach. The team will look to rebound in upcoming home games against the Atlanta Falcons, hoping to improve their offensive and defensive performances that have been underwhelming this season.
