MOBILE, Ala. — Mike Mayock has been living in the Alameda Hampton Inn since taking the Raiders general manager job on Dec. 31. He told his wife, who still lives in Philadelphia, to find a place they could rent in Alameda. His one restriction? The house had to be within a five-minute drive of team headquarters.
She found one three and a half minutes away, and they hope to move in later this week or next.
Mayock’s life since (officially) assuming an NFL front-office job a little less than a month ago has been hectic. He’s still a talent evaluator at heart, but the non-football duties of general managers have occasionally caught him off guard while slaving away with Jon Gruden and Co.
