TL;DR Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler after a disappointing start to the season. Linebackers coach Antonio Pierce has been named interim coach, while Champ Kelly has been promoted to interim general manager. The Raiders' offense has struggled under McDaniels, ranking near the bottom of the league in several categories. The team may also consider moving on from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who has struggled with injuries and interceptions. The decision to make the coaching change now was driven by owner Mark Davis' realization of the hires' errors and pressure from fans. The Raiders hope to salvage the season and potentially make a playoff run under the new leadership. Potential candidates for the permanent coaching and general manager positions include Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
