The Las Vegas Raiders announced late Tuesday night that they have fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler ahead of their Week 9 game against the New York Giants.
Raiders’ ownership has also named linebackers coach - and Giant great - Antonio Pierce the interim head coach. With a slight tinge of irony, his first head coaching game is against a team near and dear to his heart.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that McDaniels received a six-year contract and has over four full years left on his contract that Las Vegas is obligated to pay.
