I heard a talking head attribute Mayo’s firing to yesterday’s NE win … which dropped them from first to fourth overall draft pick.

Who knows? 

So it wasn't a Happy Ending for Kraft.

The owner made the hire. Mayo was Kraft's hand-picked replacement for Belichick.

So, there was a general recall of Kraft's Mayo?

Mayo was also Belichick's hand-picked successor and it was in his contract that Mayo would get the job when he left. IMHO this was never going to work.

Chicago Bears have sought permission to interview Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and are awaiting a response from Dallas, sources tell me and @toddarcher.If the Cowboys don’t allow permission this week, the Bears could interview McCarthy after his exclusive negotiating window…

The guy who bought the Jaguars is going to be on his fifth, or sixth, head coach since he bought them around 15 years ago.

that list is why you should become a head coach, even if you truly believe you just want to be a coordinator. It's like once you enter the rotation, there will always be an opportunity to jump back in somewhere.

The Las Vegas Raiders fired Antonio Pierce after his first full season as head coach, the team announced Tuesday.

The Raiders are retaining general manager Tom Telesco, who was hired for the role last season, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Raiders limited owner Tom Brady is expected to be part of a collaborative committee to interview head coaching candidates and support team owner Mark Davis, league sources told Schefter.

The Raiders have not won the Super Bowl since the 1983 season. 

The level of ineptitude is just amazing.

Jim Plunkett, Marcus Allen, Kenny King, Todd Christensen, Cliff Branch, Dave Dalby, Ted Hendricks, Lyle Alzado, Howie Long, Mikey Marvin, Matt Milley, Lester Hayes, Mike Haynes, Vann McElroy and others were on that roster. These are just the names I could come up with off the top of my head.

Just criminal in what they have done to that franchise.

This would be fun. 

Multiple NFL teams have inquired about whether legendary coach Bill Belichick would reconsider his move to college football – including the Raiders, whose new minority owner Tom Brady spoke recently with his old coach, per league sources. https://t.co/MoyG87epRv

It is a very Chicago Bears sort of move. As a Cowboys fan who lived in Chicago for 10 years... I sadly relate to their fans. But.. Chicago has played in a Super Bowl since Troy Aikman retired.

Don’t know why this post irritated me. I guess I’ve always thought Super Bowls is a flukey metric for greatness vs. looking at a team or player’s winning percentage. The Lions and Browns have never even played in a Super Bowl game. The Bengals, Bills, Titans, Chargers, Falcons, and Cardinals have never won one. Does that render them all shittier than the Raiders? And a perennial 9-7 dude Eli Manning is rolling around with two rings.
 

The Raiders presently suck because they hired Mike Mayock as GM a few years ago, who drafted like a fantasy fanboi. One player who was a hit went to jail for murder. They jettisoned their 8-8/9-7 guy Derek Carr and got much worse at QB. They let Josh Jacobs go and traded Davonte Adams for a fraction of what they gave for him. They shouldn’t have caved after the Gruden email leak. Franchise is a mess though.

My point was that they threw away greatness for just about 40 years of idiocy. Nine 10-win seasons since that Super Bowl. Two playoff appearances in the past 23 seasons.

The Raiders are absolutely terrible, but they are also by far and away the poorest NFL franchise, in owner personal wealth terms.  As a throwback to the old AFL, the Davis family made their money AS team owners.  He's probably the only non-billionaire at the league meetings.  It doesn't excuse their terrible decision making, but it does provide context for why they are consistently stupid in almost every aspect of the team's management.  Because Al Davis literally talked his way into the Raiders organizational structure, acted as coach, scout, gm, etc during their AFL years,  and leveraged that as a salaried employee into a minority stake, and eventually ownership, I suspect in addition to lack of resources, his son and current owner, Mark Davis is simply not able to separate the Football Team from the Family Business in a way that even Jerruh would find confusing.

Mark Davis also seems like the kind of guy that would lose the team to Dana White in a poker game or some shit.

Totally. 

The owners would love to see Davis sell to a well capitalized ownership group.

That's based on an a forbes estimate from his wiki profile, and I don't know how much I entirely trust those. Sheila Hamp is a Ford Heiress.

Davis' worth is the team. Dan Snyder was reported to be worth billions before he sold the team, but the NFL had to lend him money to buy out his partners.

Ha, he gone too.

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired general manager Tom Telesco after one season, the team announced Thursday.

The move comes two days after the team fired coach Antonio Pierce after his first full season as the team's coach. 

"We appreciate his efforts in helping build a foundation for the future. We wish Tom and his family all the best," the team said in a statement.
