On the latest episode of the Audacy original Inside Black & Gold podcast, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak and WWL Sports Director Steve Geller break down what all has been shaken up after the Dennis Allen firing, the latest on injuries, what Mickey Loomis had to say this week on WWL and we also break down the path that Rizzi could take to keeping the job in 2025. Let’s do it.
