Dennis Allen’s tenure in New Orleans is over.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Saints have fired Dennis after the loss to the Carolina Panthers, which was the seventh straight loss for the Saints after starting 2-0.

The Saints started the season strong, going 2-0. But it all went downhill after that with the lowest of the low being Sunday’s loss against the Carolina Panthers.

In three seasons as head coach of the Saints, Allen compiled an 18-25 record with no playoff appearances.

He was previously the Saints defensive coordinator under Sean Payton from 2015-2021 and had spent 10 years with the organization.

The Saints named special teams coach Darren Rizzi as the interim coach for the rest of the season.
