Good morning and welcome into first take.

Thank you so much for being with us.

Of course, we have some breaking news, so I'll say hello to the guys in just a minute.

The Saints have fired Dennis Allen.

New Orleans started the season 2-0 and then lost seven straight, losing to the Panthers yesterday.

Again, head coach Dennis Allen has been fired.

I'll bring the guys in.

Stephen A. Shannon, good morning.

Danerlovsky will be here in a minute. I'll start with you, Shannon. Your reaction to the news. I'm not surprising. It's not surprising at all, considering as you mentioned, Molly at the top, he had lost seven straight ball games, and then he loses to what is thought of as the worst team in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers. I don't know how he was going to survive that.

I don't advocate anybody losing the job because I know what it's like to be let go from a situation.

But there's an expectation that the Saints had and the expectations weren't met.

So I do not think this is very surprising at all, if not anything.

And you, Stephen A, you saw what the players, the one, a defensive linewoman said,

hell, put me in it, quarterback.

I can make it more entertaining.

Cam Jordan said, man, I am so sorry.

This is pathetic.

Basically, I'm paraphrasing.

But no, there's no way he was going to survive that after what the players had started tweeting.

There's no question about it going to survive that after what the players that started tweeting. Well, there's no question about it.

You're absolutely right.

It's good to see you big time.
