“You’re Going to Be Fired”: Stephen A. Smith Tears Down Dennis Allen for Failure to Control Saints

Stephen A. Smith comes down hard as Head coach Dennis Allen’s team defied straight orders during an emphatic victory 48-17. The Saints and the Falcons fought valiantly in the first half 17-17. The second-half dominance by the Saints was simply too much for the Falcons to take on. During the last play when the scoreline read 41-17, the Saints deceived the Falcons knowingly, overruling their coach’s decision, and gave Jamaal Wilson a chance to secure his first TD of the season.

At 1:10 seconds remaining in the play, the Saints lined up in victory formation. Jameis Winston who replaced QB Derek Carr after his 4 TDs performance, indicated that they would be going to take the knee and run out the clock. All was well but in the surprising turn of events, the ball was handed to Jamaal Williams who pushed forward for a 1-yard Touchdown. The team’s decision to defy their coach’s order upset the Falcons. To sum up, Dennis Allen’s apology to Arthur Smith didn’t do the damage control. Now Stephen A. Smith has come hard at the team and the coach.

“What drug was he sniffing?”: Stephen A. Smith is furious

Sports analyst Stephen A. Smith shared his initial reactions to what went down during the last play, saying, “Classless move to be up 41-17 and still running up the score, should be ashamed of yourself.” He addressed Dennis Allen’s statement after the game, saying, “They were supposed to be in victory formation and his players led by Jameis Winston a backup (QB) decided to do something else.”

Smith condemned Winston for overruling the coach’s decision and choosing to do what they did. He further stated, “What drug was he sniffing? He should immediately be exiled from the Saints roster.” Then turning his attention towards the coach, Smith said, “Dennis Allen, you might as well quit because you’re gonna be fired. You have no control over the team.”
