The reasons why the Las Vegas Raiders let go of former general manager Tom Telesco were revealed, in a recent report from Larry Brown Sports.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter explained why the Raiders relieved Telesco of his duties.

“Clearly [the Raiders] prefer that the head coach and GM come in together at the same time, work together on the same page, and move forward in the same direction,” Schefter said. “They did not feel that Tom Telesco, obviously, would be somebody that would be as appealing to some of the head coaching candidates that they are speaking with.
