Saints fire head coach Dennis Allen after stunning loss to Panthers: report

The New Orleans Saints reportedly made a head coaching move less than 24 hours after the team suffered a one-point defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers.

The Saints fired Dennis Allen, ESPN reported Monday. The Saints are on a seven-game losing streak.

Allen is the second head coach to be fired this season, coming weeks after the New York Jets relieved Robert Saleh of his head coaching duties.

The 52-year-old was tapped to take over the team following the departure of Sean Payton. He guided the Saints to a 9-8 record last season but over the course of 2 1/2 years, the team never made the playoffs.

He was 18-25 as the Saints’ head coach.
