2024-11-04 23:00:03

The New Orleans Saints have announced today that Head Coach Dennis Allen has been relieved of his duties.

Special Teams Coordinator Darren Rizzi has been named interim head coach.

Allen was named the head coach of the New Orleans Saints on February 8, 2022. He became the 17th head coach in the franchise’s history.

“Dennis has been part of our organization for many years. He is highly regarded within the NFL. He has been extremely loyal and professional and most importantly an excellent football coach for us. All of this makes today very tough for me and our organization,” said Saints Owner Gayle Benson. “However, this decision is something that I felt we needed to make at this time. I wish nothing but the best in the future for Dennis and his family. He will always be considered in the highest regard by me and everyone within our organization.”

“DA is an excellent football coach,” said Saints Executive Vice President and General Manger Mickey Loomis. “This season, we have had an avalanche of injuries. It took its toll. DA has never offered excuses, he fought each day for this organization and this team and that is what makes today disappointing. Dennis has been an integral part of this organization’s success for the better part of twenty years. He will be missed.”

The organization did not announce any other coaching changes.
