Report – Saints Fire Rob Ryan

After another blowout loss from the New Orleans Saints, the team has fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

The news first reported by Alex Marvez, FOX Sports, comes after a 47-14 dismal defensive performance. It's the second time in three weeks that the Saints have surrendered 47 points.

The firing of Ryan ends a tumultuous two and half years with the Saints. The team is on pace to give up 45 touchdown passes, which would be a league record.

The Saints defense has also given up a NFL-high of 315 points overall, which is easily the highest total in the league. Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins torched the Saints secondary to a tune of four touchdowns and 324 passing yards.

The Saints have a bye in Week 10 before traveling to Houston to take on the Texans.
