The New Orleans Saints hit rock bottom in Week 7, getting pummeled by 23 points in their Thursday night matchup against the Denver Broncos at the Caesars Superdome. The brutal defeat has Saints fans up in arms, with many calling for head coach Dennis Allen’s immediate firing.
Despite the social media frenzy, Allen seemed unfazed in his post-game presser. He calmly told reporters, “The Saints are going to come back in on Monday and be a normal day. I want guys to get some rest. I want guys to get some recovery,” according to reporter John Hendrix on X. Injured players will spend the weekend at the facility for treatment, but Allen didn’t seem to address the growing cloud of speculation surrounding his job.
Fans, however, are far from calm. The calls for Allen’s dismissal have reached a fever pitch, with one frustrated supporter posting, “How much more are we supposed to take?” The Saints’ record is now in question, and while the franchise has yet to make any announcements about Allen’s future, many believe his days are numbered.
