The Las Vegas Raiders have fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler after a 3-5 start to the season, the team announced.
“After much thought about what the Raiders need to move forward, I have decided to part ways with Josh and Dave,” team owner Mark Davis said in a statement. “I want to thank them both for their hard work and wish them and their families nothing but the best.”
The Raiders named linebackers coach Antonio Pierce as the interim head coach and assistant GM Champ Kelly as the interim general manager.
