Saints general manager Mickey Loomis announced on Friday that the team is retaining head coach Dennis Allen for the 2023 season.
In his first season as the team’s head coach, Allen led the team to a 7–10 record and third place in the NFC South. The former defensive coordinator took over for Sean Payton when he stepped away from the team last offseason.
New Orleans is Allen’s second head coaching opportunity, after he coached the Raiders for parts of three seasons between 2012 and ’14. In total, Allen has a 15–38 record as a head coach in the NFL, with 2022’s seven wins standing as his most in a single season.
