Northshore fans respond with mixed reactions after Saints remove head coach [Video]

HAPPEN AROUND THE TEAM. ILL SEND IT BACK TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. FROM THE SOUTH SHORE TO THE NORTH SHORE, WE DO KNOW THAT DENNIS ALLEN HAS BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE AND, YOU KNOW, SET DOWN ROOTS ON THE NORTH SHORE. YEAH, HE HAS LIVED THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. LETS TURN THINGS OVER TO NORTH SHORE BUREAU. REPORTER SHAWANDA JONES WITH REACTION FROM THAT COMMUNITY. SHAWANDA A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE KNEW DENNIS ALLEN VERY WELL. YEAH, YOURE RIGHT. TRAVERS AND GINA FANS HERE ON THE NORTH SHORE, THEY SAY ITS KIND OF A BITTERSWEET DAY. AS YOU SAID, A LOT OF PEOPLE KNEW HIM HERE ON THE NORTH SHORE. AND THEY SAY THAT THEYVE TAKEN HIM INTO THE MANVILLE FAMILY AND KIND OF JUST MADE HIM ONE OF THEIR OWN. BUT THEY ALSO SAY THEY KNEW CHANGE HAD TO COME SOONER OR LATER. FORMER SAINTS HEAD COACH DENNIS ALLEN HAS CALLED THE NORTH SHORE HOME FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS. EMILY WAGGAMAN LIVES HERE IN MANVILLE, THE VERY COMMUNITY WHERE ALLEN HAS RAISED HIS FAMILY. SHE SAYS SHES STILL IN SHOCK AFTER HEARING ALLEN WAS FIRED FROM THE TEAM. I SAW IT ON FACEBOOK THIS MORNING. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS TRUE. I HAD TO ASK MY HUSBAND BECAUSE I COULDNT BELIEVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON THEY COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. OTHER FANS SAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY CHOICE FOR THE TEAMS OWNERS. I THINK IT WAS A TOUGH DECISION. HOPEFULLY IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION. CHRISTOPHER COOK MEYER SAYS. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING A MILE AWAY, GIVEN THE TRACK RECORD AND THE POOR PERFORMANCE CHANGES HAD TO BE MADE AND USUALLY WHEN YOURE TALKING ABOUT A SHIP AND YOU KNOW ITS CAPTAIN, IF THE SHIP IS NOT BEING STEERED RIGHT, YOU GET RID OF THE CAPTAIN COOK MEYER SAYS, IS JUST THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS. DONT GET ME WRONG. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE A LOCAL BOY SUCCEED, BUT LIKE, IF YOU CANT DO IT, THEYRE GOING TO FIND SOMEBODY WHO CAN. THE THEME ON THE NORTH SHORE IS SIMILAR TO THAT ON THE SOUTH SHORE. EVERYBODY IS HOPEFUL THAT THIS WILL SPARK A NEW ERA. BUT THE QUESTION REMAINS IS, WAS THE FIRING ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY? WAS THAT THE BEST DECISION TO FINALLY PRESS RESTART ON THE SAINTS REPUTATIO
