The Las Vegas Raiders have fired general manager Tom Telesco after one season, the team announced Thursday.
The move comes two days after the team fired coach Antonio Pierce after his first full season as the team’s coach.
“We appreciate his efforts in helping build a foundation for the future. We wish Tom and his family all the best,” the team said in a statement.
The Raiders finished 4-13 this season, hampered by an unsettled quarterback situation. Telesco signed Gardner Minshew, giving him a two-year, $25 million contract with $15 million guaranteed. Minshew began the season as the starter but was benched in favor of Aidan O’Connell after five games. Both Minshew and O’Connell dealt with injuries during the season, forcing the team also to start Desmond Ridder.
The Raiders hired Telesco last Jan. 23, less than six weeks after he was fired, along with coach Brandon Staley, by the Los Angeles Chargers following a 63-21 loss to Las Vegas.
Telesco, 52, had been the Chargers’ general manager since 2013.
