We start this third and final hour once again with the breaking
00:08
news in the last five minutes around the National Football
00:11
League after getting beat as a seven-point road favorite
00:14
yesterday in Carolina by the Panthers to extend a losing skid
00:19
to seven consecutive games. The New Orleans Saints have made
00:23
a much-needed change. The Saints have fired head coach Dennis
00:27
Allen midway through his third season at the helm in New
00:31
Orleans. Two and seven this year DRS after acquiring Derek
00:35
Karn being the odds-on favorite to win the NFC South last year
00:39
in falling short of expectation at only nine and eight, seven
00:44
and ten in his first year. He will end his two and a half
00:47
seasons in New Orleans with an 18 and 25 record. Dennis Allen
00:53
has been a head coach in the NFL six years now. He has been
00:57
fired in the middle of his third season at each stint way
01:01
back in 2014 with the Raiders after only four weeks now in 2024
01:07
with New Orleans after only nine weeks at a two and seven record
01:11
to show for it. And how about the first two wins of the season
01:14
to start off where we were starting to question. Oh my goodness
01:17
are the Saints the best team in the NFC a surefire playoff team
01:21
and there's no chance the Atlanta Falcons the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
01:24
or the Carolina Panthers will ever catch this runaway freight
01:27
train only for the Philadelphia Eagles to come in and stop
01:31
their season dead cold with a victory with a lot of injured
01:34
players here pulling that out late and they never recovered
01:37
from that. The one thing you do know about head coaches getting
01:40
fired is sometimes they get a little bit longer leash. If we
01:42
don't think the team is talented that team coming into the
01:44
season the past few years should have been at least good
01:47
enough to win the NFC South at least not compete for a wild
01:50
card position. The fact that you entered this season with
01:53
decent expectations. The first two games reset those expectations
01:57
for we not only will make the playoffs will make a run only
02:00
to find yourself to two and seven losing to the worst team
02:03
in football yesterday in embarrassing fashion on the field.
02:06
This has to be done. They have to restart and it's done at a
02:09
good time. You're done on the season. You're not going to make
02:12
the playoffs. The deadline is tomorrow. No more trying to save
02:14
the season for our head coach and see if the players can play
02:17
for them. You should slowly dismantle this team that is way
02:20
over the salary cap heading into the next season as is.
