00:00We start this third and final hour once again with the breaking

00:08news in the last five minutes around the National Football

00:11League after getting beat as a seven-point road favorite

00:14yesterday in Carolina by the Panthers to extend a losing skid

00:19to seven consecutive games. The New Orleans Saints have made

00:23a much-needed change. The Saints have fired head coach Dennis

00:27Allen midway through his third season at the helm in New

00:31Orleans. Two and seven this year DRS after acquiring Derek

00:35Karn being the odds-on favorite to win the NFC South last year

00:39in falling short of expectation at only nine and eight, seven

00:44and ten in his first year. He will end his two and a half

00:47seasons in New Orleans with an 18 and 25 record. Dennis Allen

00:53has been a head coach in the NFL six years now. He has been

00:57fired in the middle of his third season at each stint way

01:01back in 2014 with the Raiders after only four weeks now in 2024

01:07with New Orleans after only nine weeks at a two and seven record

01:11to show for it. And how about the first two wins of the season

01:14to start off where we were starting to question. Oh my goodness

01:17are the Saints the best team in the NFC a surefire playoff team

01:21and there's no chance the Atlanta Falcons the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

01:24or the Carolina Panthers will ever catch this runaway freight

01:27train only for the Philadelphia Eagles to come in and stop

01:31their season dead cold with a victory with a lot of injured

01:34players here pulling that out late and they never recovered

01:37from that. The one thing you do know about head coaches getting

01:40fired is sometimes they get a little bit longer leash. If we

01:42don't think the team is talented that team coming into the

01:44season the past few years should have been at least good

01:47enough to win the NFC South at least not compete for a wild

01:50card position. The fact that you entered this season with

01:53decent expectations. The first two games reset those expectations

01:57for we not only will make the playoffs will make a run only

02:00to find yourself to two and seven losing to the worst team

02:03in football yesterday in embarrassing fashion on the field.

02:06This has to be done. They have to restart and it's done at a

02:09good time. You're done on the season. You're not going to make

02:12the playoffs. The deadline is tomorrow. No more trying to save

02:14the season for our head coach and see if the players can play

02:17for them. You should slowly dismantle this team that is way

02:20over the salary cap heading into the next season as is.
