Mark Davis’ silence upon the firings of both head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco was peculiar.
Outside of statements issued by the team, the Las Vegas Raiders owner didn’t provide any rhyme or reason to the dismissals and didn’t appear in front of the media. Perhaps, we should’ve seen the axe dropping on both Pierce and Telesco coming as other owners came out and publicly backed personnel on perceived hot seats.
Davis did not.
“We just felt it was time for a change,” Davis simply said to awaiting media when the topic of Pierce and Telesco came up after the introductory press conference for Carroll and Spytek occurred last week.
