Telesco, who was hired in January 2024, appeared to be safe after the Raiders announced they were firing Antonio Pierce on Tuesday. However, Telesco would join Pierce two days later as the Raiders—under some influence of minority owner Tom Brady—decided to do a drastic overhaul at the top.

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired general manager Tom Telesco after one season, the team announced Thursday. The move comes two days after the team fired coach Antonio Pierce after his first full season as the team's coach.

The move appears to be another rash and oddly timed decision for a franchise that’s made those types of calls a habit in recent years.
