Telesco, who was hired in January 2024, appeared to be safe after the Raiders announced they were firing Antonio Pierce on Tuesday. However, Telesco would join Pierce two days later as the Raiders—under some influence of minority owner Tom Brady—decided to do a drastic overhaul at the top.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick won a record six Super Bowl together during their time with the New England Patriots. With his new team now in need of a head coach, Brady has reportedly looked into a possible reunion with his former coach with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tom Brady's involvement in Las Vegas' search for a new head coach could result in Ben Johnson rejecting clubs to join the Raiders.
