Former Saints coach Dennis Allen has been fired following the team's 27-20 loss to the Panthers

The Saints started the season 2-5 and have now lost three straight games.

The New Orleans Saints have fired head coach Dennis Allen after the team's 27-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Saints started the season 2-5 and have now lost three straight games.

Allen was hired as the Saints' head coach in February 2022 after serving as the team's defensive coordinator for the previous three seasons. He replaced Sean Payton, who stepped down after 16 seasons with the Saints.

The Saints have struggled offensively this season, ranking 29th in the NFL in total offense. The team has also been plagued by injuries, with several key players missing time due to various ailments.

The Saints will now begin the search for a new head coach. Several candidates have already been linked to the job, including former Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

The Saints will face the Los Angeles Rams on the road next Sunday as they look to snap their three-game losing streak.
