I have also not been able to find anywhere that the position moving forward was going to be a demotion.

As you just mentioned, Bako, that makes no sense. The refusing an interview part, however, makes sense if he already knew that Allen was getting the job and that another position was reserved for him.

Does anyone have a reliable source where either or both of these has been shared as fact?

Longtime offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael is expected to remain on the staff but in a lower-profile position than coordinator, sources said. Sources said the transition came at the request of Carmichael, who also declined an opportunity to interview for the Saints' head coaching position.
