Saints Fire Coach Allen Amid Longest Losing Streak
News summary

The New Orleans Saints have fired head coach Dennis Allen following a dismal 2-7 start to the 2024 season, marking their longest losing streak since 1999. Allen, who had a record of 18-25 with the Saints and 26-53 as an NFL head coach, was appointed after Sean Payton's retirement. Despite his success as a defensive coordinator, Allen struggled to replicate those results as head coach, with the team's offense faltering under new coordinator Klint Kubiak. Saints owner Gayle Benson and GM Mickey Loomis praised Allen's professionalism and loyalty, but acknowledged the need for change. Darren Rizzi, the special teams coordinator, will serve as interim head coach. Allen expressed disappointment but gratitude towards the organization and its fans in his farewell statement.
