Dennis Allen has an 18-25 record as the Saints' head coach and a 26-53 overall record as an NFL head coach.
NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen on Monday amid a seven-game losing streak, marking the team‘s first midseason coaching chance since Tom Benson’s acquisition of the franchise.
Allen‘s .327 career win percentage ranks 147th out of 149 coaches with 75+ games, according to the Associated Press’ Josh Dubow. Only Joe Bugel and Marion Campbell are worse at .300. “Dennis has been part of our organization for many years. He is highly regarded within the NFL,” said Benson in a press release. “However, this decision is something that I felt we needed to make at this time. I wish nothing but the best in the future for Dennis and his family. He will always be considered in the highest regard by me and everyone within our organization.”Loomis added, “DA is an excellent football coach. This season, we have had an avalanche of injuries. It took its toll.
“Obviously, when you’re not winning, it’s hard to say that you are, you know? I mean, that’s hard to say,” Allen said, acknowledging the pressure. “Look, I got to be better for our guys. And here’s what I’ll say: I’m going to keep coming in every day and fight my ass off, just like I have every single day that I’ve been here, and I’ll just keep doing that.”
