Immediately following the Raiders’ season-ending loss to the Chargers in Los Angeles, Mark Davis made a bee line to head coach Jack Del Rio to tell him he was being let go, and left the stadium shortly thereafter. It was so sudden his official statement wasn’t released until over two hours later.
“We appreciate Jack’s effort in building the foundation of this team for the future,” said Davis in a statement. “Thank you to Jack, his wife, Linda, and his daughter, Aubrey, for their important contributions to the Raiders and our local community in Oakland.
