Bruce Allen was fired as president of the Washington football team Monday morning after leading the team for 10 seasons. Fans had called for his departure for the past few years after several disappointing seasons.

Allen was relieved from his position and is no longer with the organization, said the team’s owner Dan Snyder in a statement.

“Like our passionate fan base, I recognize we have not lived up to the high standards set by great … teams, coaches and players who have come before us,” Snyder said. “As we reevaluate our team leadership, culture and process for winning football games, I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead to renew our singular focus and purpose of bringing championship football back to Washington D.C.”

The team fired head coach Jay Gruden in October. He was the eighth head coach fired since Snyder bought the team 20 years ago. Gruden’s departure came after the team faced a 0-5 season start. Fans said Gruden’s release was a good start, but also wanted to see Allen let go. Over the past few years, fans have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #FireBruceAllen.

The news of Allen’s layoff comes as the team faced a divisional loss, 47-16, against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday night. The loss caps a 3-13 season for the Washington football team, their worst since 1994, according to the team’s staff writer.

Allen was hired to be Snyder’s top executive in 2009. He was the primary voice in Washington’s football matters after the departure of head coach Mike Shanahan in 2013. In 2014, the team hired Scot McCloughan as general manager, but he was fired after the 2016 season and Allen regained control.

Out of the 32 teams in the NFL, Washington is ranked 19th in the league in attendance and 30th in percentage of seats used this season.

ESPN and other sports outlets are reporting that Snyder is set to meet with Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera Monday. Rivera quickly turned the Panthers around going from a 2-14 season in 2010, the year before he was hired, to a 12-4 season three years later. In 2015, the Panthers were 15-1 and reached the Super Bowl. Between 1971 and 1991, Washington has played in five Super Bowls and won three.
