The Las Vegas Raiders took some time before making some major decisions.

On Tuesday, a day after Antonio Pierce met with the media and said he anticipated being back as Raiders coach, he was fired. Then on Wednesday came more big news: The Raiders fired general manager Tom Telesco.

That's a clean sweep for the Raiders at the top, which might help them land a head coach who either wants personnel power or can come in with a general manager he has worked with before.
