The Las Vegas Raiders have parted ways with head coach Josh McDaniels as well as general manager Dave Ziegler, the team announced on Tuesday night.
“After much thought about what the Raiders need to move forward, I have decided to part ways with Josh and Dave,” Raiders owner Mark Davis confirmed. “I want to thank them both for their hard work and wish them and their families nothing but the best.”
Las Vegas has named linebackers coach Antonio Pierce as their interim head coach. Current assistant general manager Champ Kelly will serve as interim GM, with the organization pledging to begin their search for a new permanent general manager once the current season is complete. A decision on who will take on offensive playcalling duties is yet to be made.
