The New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen on Monday after Sunday brought their seventh consecutive loss, a 23-22 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. It was a move telegraphed by many things, like the win-loss column, but none more strongly than a quote from running back Alvin Kamara.
After the Panthers loss, Kamara was asked if he and his teammates were still confident in their ability to execute in the midst of such a brutal losing streak. Kamara explained that everybody in the locker room has played a lot of football and retain confidence in their skills, but that confidence may be... lacking elsewhere.
