The New Orleans Saints have fired head coach Dennis Allen after a seven-game losing streak. Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi has been named interim head coach. Rizzi previously interviewed for the head coaching position three years ago and has experience at the college level. The decision comes after a late-in-regulation loss to the Carolina Panthers, marking the Saints’ struggles after a strong start to the season. Injuries have plagued the team, leading to their downfall.
