On Tuesday, the Raiders fired coach Antonio Pierce but not G.M. Tom Telesco. Two days into their coaching search, the Raiders fired Telesco. Conventional wisdom in NFL circles is that Telesco was fired to clear a path for the next head coach to hire his own personnel executive.

Just two days after the Las Vegas Raiders announced they have fired head coach Antonio Piece, the organization has continued to clean house by firing general manager Tom Telesco.

The 52-year-old Telesco was hired by Las Vegas a few weeks after he was fired by the Los Angeles Chargers in December 2023. Over 11 seasons as the Chargers' general manager, the team went 88–108 and won two playoff games in 2013 and '18.
