Saints fired Dennis Allen

On NFL Radio this morning, they were discussing Loomis’ earlier comments about Allen not being able to overcome injuries, and they didn’t interpret it as Loomis being reluctant to fire Allen. They saw the comments as more of a criticism of Allen, that as head coach he is expected to find a way to win with what he has, and losing seven in a row (with the seventh to a 1-7 team) was enough for Loomis to see that Allen isn’t capable of doing that. Almost similar to the criticism we hear about Carr, he can be a good QB if everything else around him is going well, but he doesn’t look like a guy that can create a win.

I didn’t expect the midseason firing because it’s not something that Loomis appears to do as a regular practice, but I get it, especially with all of the other recent news that came out after the firing.
