Who Will Replace the New Orleans Saints Coach? Top Candidates for the Job

The news broke yesterday that the New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen after the Saints lost their seventh game in a row on Sunday. They didn't lose the game, but to the worst team in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers.

That prompted the club to release Dennis Allen from his duties on Monday. The Saints won their first two games of the year but since then they are on a seven-game losing streak and sit at 2-7 on the season. Some fans are saying the amount of injuries the team has suffered is part of the problem but if you talk to most Saints fans, they thought it was time Allen was dismissed.

Now the big question is who will be the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints? Social media and the experts have two different opinions and we have both for you here. First, let's address people's posts and a wish list for the Saints.

Some are begging for the Saints to hire former LSU football coach Ed Orgeron. Orgeron won a National Championship with the Tigers in 2019 but left LSU after the 2020 season and currently is not coaching anywhere.

Other posts are hinting they would love to get six-time Superbowl Coach Bill Belichick who is currently available and has expressed that he would like to coach again.

Now for the real list according to the experts. According to CBS Sports, here are the top NFL coaching candidates who could become the next coach of the New Orleans Saints.

We will have to see who the Saints interview to get a better picture of who they are targeting to take the reigns of the team.
