It has been 3 days since the New Orleans Saints fired Coach Dennis Allen and replaced him with interim coach Darren Rizzi. Will this be enough to inspire the players – especially at home this week against the rival Atlanta Falcons?

Host Jim Derry has his thoughts on Thursday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 306) presented by Evangeline Securities, as he dives into all sorts of questions related to the Saints, including how past teams have done following in-season coaching changes. He also questions whether wide receiver Chris Olave should take a risk and play any time soon following a fourth concussion.

Jim also welcomes in Bet.NOLA.com’s Gabe Henderson to hear his top play, as well as Uncle Big Nick and his weekly five best bets. The team also previews LSU vs. Alabama and a few other top games, including Ole Miss vs. Georgia and Florida vs. Texas in college football and Texans vs. Lions and Cowboys vs. Eagles in the NFL.
