This is what got the Saints HC Dennis Allen fired today. Allen is the second head coach to be fired in the NFL 2024 regular season after <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/jets-coach-robert-saleh-fired-owner-woody-johnson-explains-what-got-the-nfl-coach-fired\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Robert Saleh was fired by the New York Jets<\/a>.<\/p><p>The move of Dennis Allen getting fired came after Derek Carr and co. lost a game to the Carolina Panthers by 23-22, a game they were supposed to win, given the Panthers are one of the lowest rated teams in the NFL.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dennis Allen Coaching Record<\/h2><p>While working as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints, Dennis Allen has a win-loss record of 18-25, with a win percentage of 41.9 percent. In his overall career as a head coach, Allen has a below average record of 26-53. From the 2012-2014 season, Allen was head coach of the Oakland Raiders (who later became the Las Vegas Raiders).&nbsp;<\/p><p>Neither the Raiders nor the Saints ever reached the playoffs under Dennis Allen as a head coach. As the Saints HC, Allen&rsquo;s best season was 2023 with a regular season record of 9-8.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dennis Allen Contract<\/h2><p>The terms of Dennis Allen&rsquo;s contract are not public yet. But given that the NFL head coaches have a guaranteed money clause in their contracts, Allen must be receiving fair compensation for the buyout, given he was fired mid-season.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Dennis Allen assumed the mantle of the Saints head coach on February 8, 2022. He became the 17th head coach in the franchise&rsquo;s history after the departure of Sean Payton. This was Allen&rsquo;s third year as the Saints head coach, which eventually got cut short because of the team&rsquo;s poor record.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Darren Rizzi named Interim Head Coach for the Saints<\/h2><p>Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi has been named the interim head coach for the Saints.
