The New Orleans Saints have fired Dennis Allen, and the search for a new head coach is on. Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will be the league's top candidate. Meanwhile, defensive-minded options like Brian Flores from the Minnesota Vikings and former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel are also on the table.

Familiar faces such as Aaron Glenn, Joe Brady, and Jon Gruden are possible, though the Saints may want to go for more unfamiliar options. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi's future hinges on the team's performance in the final eight games, but he should be able to coach his way into serious consideration at all.
