ALAMEDA -- The Raiders have a vacancy in their personnel department. General manager Reggie McKenzie was let go Monday, though his replacement won’t share the same title.
The Raiders issued a statement saying they’d search for a “new front office executive” starting immediately, a search that coach Jon Gruden says owner Mark Davis will conduct.
Gruden said he wasn’t sure if he’d be involved in the interview process, but he’s expected to have influence in this important hire.
Gruden wants someone McKenzie-esque to fill that role.
“(We’re looking for) similar qualities,” Gruden said.
