Saints fire Dennis Allen after humiliating loss to Panthers

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen has been fired after the team's humiliating 24-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The Saints are now 1-4 on the season and have lost four straight games. The loss to the Panthers was particularly embarrassing, as the Saints were favored by 10 points and had a chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter.

Allen was hired as the Saints' head coach in 2022 after Sean Payton stepped down. He was previously the team's defensive coordinator and had a strong reputation as a defensive mind.

However, the Saints' defense has struggled under Allen, and the team has been plagued by injuries and inconsistency. The offense has also been underwhelming, and quarterback Jameis Winston has been turnover-prone.

The Saints' loss to the Panthers was the final straw for the team's ownership. Allen was fired on Monday morning, and the team is now searching for a new head coach.

The Saints are a proud franchise with a rich history. They have won four NFC championships and one Super Bowl. However, the team has been in decline in recent years, and Allen's firing is a sign that the Saints are looking for a fresh start.

It is unclear who the Saints will hire as their next head coach. However, the team is expected to target a candidate with experience and a proven track record of success.
