The New Orleans Saints have lost seven games in a row, with the last game being to the Carolina Panthers. This is the hottest Dennis Allen’s seat has ever been from outside voices, and the pressure is mounting from the front office at this point.
This is the longest single season losing streak of Allen’s coaching career. As coach of the Raiders, he suffered six game losing streaks in both of his first two seasons but he never reached seven in one year.
Allen’s longest skid was 10 games and extended over two seasons. This led to his departure from Oakland. He hasn’t made it to 10 games, but it’s possible if Allen even makes it that far.
NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reported “everything is on the table after that loss” including a firing. The bye week always seemed like the point where a decision on Allen’s future would be made. This loss to Carolina could have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.
