The Saints are moving on from Dennis Allen after two-plus seasons, firing the head coach after losing their seventh game in a row.
The New Orleans Saints fired coach Dennis Allen on Monday, the day after a loss against the last-place Carolina Panthers extended the Saints' losing streak to seven games — its longest since 1999, a person with knowledge of the move said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not yet announced the move.
Center Erik McCoy, the Saints' most accomplished offensive lineman, was the first to go down in Week 3 and hasn't played since. Meanwhile, New Orleans has endured stints without quarterback Derek Carr, top receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed and veteran guard Cesar Ruiz, among others. New Orleans entered Sunday's loss to the Panthers without three of its top four cornerbacks on defense: Marshon Lattimore, Paulson Adebo and Kool-Aid McKinstry.
