Saints fired Dennis Allen

they HAD to - the damage was increasing weekly- and if you didnt make this move now, the damage would have been extensive.

Still have damage to repair, but at least NOW the "continuing/ongoing damage" cycle ends. You can focus on the work to repair now.
Agreed. I typically don’t believe that firing a coach in-season makes much difference in that particular season, but from a business perspective and future outlook, it makes sense.
