New Orleans Saints Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen
Conference Call With New Orleans Media
How important was it for your career when John Fox made you a defensive coordinator in Denver?
“That was obviously big for me, I received an opportunity to go to Denver and work for John Fox. I think John Fox is an outstanding football coach. I think he just understands what type of team that he has and understands what he has to do to win games and he was really good for me. He obviously had a wealth of experience and knowledge that he was able to pass on to me, but at the same time, sometimes when you work for a defensive coach and you’re on that side of the ball it sometimes it can be a little overwhelming and they won’t let you do your job a little bit.
