The New Orleans Saints have fired coach Dennis Allen after losing their seventh straight game Sunday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi has been named the interim coach, sources told Schefter.

The Saints won their first two games this season but haven't won since, with their latest loss coming to the Carolina Panthers in a 23-22 defeat.
