The Las Vegas Raiders have fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager David Ziegler, the team announced on Tuesday.

“After much thought about what the Raiders need to move forward, I have decided to part ways with Josh and Dave. I want to thank them both for their hard work and wish them and their families nothing but the best,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said in the statement.

Las Vegas named linebackers coach Antonio Pierce and assistant general manager Champ Kelly as interim head coach and interim general manager respectively.

Pierce becomes the Raiders’ eighth head coach – and third interim – in the last 13 years.

The team said it was “committed to undergo a comprehensive search” for both a new head coach and general manager once the season has finished.

The firing of McDaniels and Ziegler brings to an end what has been a hugely disappointing era for the storied franchise.
