It’s been no secret this season that Saints fans have been frustrated. But now that frustration may be getting amplified and shouted for drivers all over the city to see.
A GoFundMe has been created seeking to purchase ad space on billboard all over the Big Easy with their proposed message being a simple one.
“Fire Dennis Allen.”
“As we all know, Dennis Allen has been a complete failure as a head coach in New Orleans and the entire Who Dat Nation is sick of it,” the GoFundMe page reads. “This billboard will be our way to make our voices seen at the least. We want to be good again, the mediocrity needs to go! The billboard is $1800 for 4 weeks and it is near the Saints facilities on Earhart!”
As for who his behind the campaign, the page says it was “orchestrated by Nicole & Ryne of Saints Twitter and artwork will be done by renowned New Orleans artist Jay Frost.”
Aside from a third straight year missing the postseason, Allen came under fire this week after a controversy over the Saints’ final touchdown in their season-finale against Atlanta after players chose to get a teammate his first trip to the endzone as a member of the Black and Gold rather than take a knee as Allen had instructed.
Social media posts from a number of former NFL players have made the argument that Allen’s players do not respect him if they would go against his wishes in such public fashion.
