The New Orleans Saints have parted ways with head coach Dennis Allen following a disappointing loss to the Carolina Panthers, marking the team's seventh consecutive defeat. This streak is the longest for the franchise since 1999.
Allen, who took over in 2022 after Sean Payton's brief retirement, finished with an 18-25 record and failed to lead the team to the playoffs. Despite a strong defense, the offense struggled significantly, particularly after injuries to key players.
