Saints Fire Head Coach Dennis Allen

Dennis Allen has been fired as the New Orleans Saints head coach after three seasons. The Saints started hot but have lost seven games in a row, bringing Allen's overall record to 18-25. This was the second time Allen went into a season with Derek Carr as his starter that ended in a mid-season firing. He coached Carr's rookie season a decade ago with the Oakland Raiders and was fired after four games.

This may give Jerry Jones an idea......

#1 Doubtful. I don't know what Jerry is doing and it appears more and more that he doesn't know either. 3-5 is not a good position to be in for making the playoffs.

It appears that having 3 12-5 seasons in a row with no play-off success left him to pay the heroes of that run and replace the old ones with a youth movement (see cheap replacement parts).

This o-line and d-line may one day be good, but they aren't now and that sets the tone for what the skill position players can and can't do.

I just hope he finds a good young coach and not a tired old one.

"3 12-5 seasons in a row"

I actually forgot that. The Cowboys get railed on so much it's hard to remember they've actually had some good regular seasons.
