The New Orleans Saints are making a substantial move after losing their second straight game.
The team is firing head coach Dennis Allen after a seven-game losing streak sent the team to a 2-7 start, according to multiple reports.
Assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi is expected to be named the interim head coach, per multiple reports.
Allen becomes the second NFL coach to be fired during the season after the New York Jets dismissed Robert Saleh in October.
Allen, who was in his third year with the Saints, finishes with an 18-25 record with the organization. He is 26-53 overall in his career after leading the then-Oakland Raiders in 2012-14.
