After Raiders made playoffs, they let GM Mike Mayock go

It seemed weird when news broke Monday that the Las Vegas Raiders were interviewing coach and general manager candidates without making a decision on the people who were in those jobs. Then more news broke that the Raiders had made a decision to find a new GM.

Mike Mayock, who was hired on Dec. 31, 2018 by the Raiders, has officially been fired:

Earlier Monday, the Raiders requested a head coaching interview with New England Patriots linebackers coach Jerod Mayo and a GM interview with Patriots director of player personnel Dave Ziegler, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
