Dennis Allen joins Saints’ staff

Posted by Michael David Smith on January 20, 2015, 7:06 AM EST Dennis Allen, who was fired after four games as the Raiders’ head coach last year, has found a new job.

Allen will join the Saints’ staff, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

This will be Allen’s second stint as a Saints assistant. He was previously on the Saints’ staff from 2006 to 2010, first coaching the defensive line and then coaching the secondary. Allen will now have to mesh with Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who wasn’t there during Allen’s previous tenure with the Saints.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how he would do as DC.

Solid move.

Wonder who is getting let go.

Big step down for Allen though, goes from HC to a position coach...

Good move for the Saints, now let's see who walks.

If the Big Lebowski (Rob Ryan) has another blunder of a season, Allen gets the promotion to DC position next year.

I don't quite get the love for Allen but it couldn't hurt to have a little extra help with the coaching on the defensive side of the ball.

"a senior defensive role"
I assume he'll have a big say in everything, with focus on DB's?

Wow...

Just shows that Payton/Loomis won't be replacing any of the dead weight on the staff... shame.

We have 5 different DCs in the last 10 years but the position coaches don't change, so our defense will continue to be a bottom feeder.
