Owner Mark Davis has made a move that will completely change the power structure of the Las Vegas Raiders Tom Tesco the previous general manager of the Los Angeles Chargers for over a decade is now in charge this guy has plenty of positives I think Tom Tesco is
One of the best general managers in all of football he has proven that draft after draft after draft I think he’s been one of the better drafting GMS in the NFL and plenty of negatives being associated with Staley and the Chargers embarrassing failures he said something Sean Smith that Sean Smith didn’t like
I’ll sh but one thing is certain he prefers head coaches with little to no head coaching experience and who Excel as communicators and leaders as far as the head coach no parameters as far as head coaching experience and no head coaching experience either side of the ball no parameters there so we’re
Looking for looking for a teacher number one looking for a guy who can a coach who can communicate not only with you guys and the fans but with us and with the players and we’re looking for a leader you know the head coach is basically the CEO of the players and the
Coaching staff it’s it’s a big operation perhaps Mark Davis thought that this would be an ideal fit with recently promoted head coach Antonio Pierce who has less than two years of coaching experience in the NFL the Raiders also need a franchise quarterback and in Tom Tesco’s first year with the Colts he
Oversaw the drafting of pton Manning he also drafted Justin Herbert for the Chargers the Raiders have experimented with strong head coaches who lead the GMS now now though revers that hierarchical order it may work or it may not only time will tell Tesco’s football career began at John Carroll University
Where he played wide receiver former Raiders coach Josh McDaniels played quarterback the year that Tesco graduated if McDaniels entered one year earlier we would have gotten to witness the fire wide receiver QB Duo of McDaniels to Tesco after serving as an intern and assistant for the Texans and
Then later the Panthers Tesco would get his his first real NFL opportunity with the Indianapolis Colts as an area Scout in 1998 Tesco served under Hall of Fame general manager and President Bill poon during his entire tenure with the Colts from 1998 to 2011 making a huge Splash
Their first year with drafting Payton Manning in 2005 Tesco was promoted to director of player personnel and later oversaw Manning’s release in 2012 Tesco later experienced the same difficult situation after having to ask Chargers franchise QB Philip Rivers after the 2019 season after the Rams almost poached Tesco in 2012 the Colts promoted
Him and tried to keep him the Chargers ended up hiring him the next year every organization has draft successes in bus some have more bus than others Tom Tesco received plenty of criticism from fans over his bus but he also drafted players like Keenan Allen in 2013 and also aant
Samuel Junior in 2021 speaking of 2013 never forget his first year as a GM he took a chance on mantio amid all that controversy I’ll take all the jokes I’ll take all the memes so that I can be inspiration to one who needs me to be just because he was catfish that does
Not mean he was not a talented linebacker aside from mantio in this second round in the third round is when he found Kenan Allen one of the best Chargers wide receivers and he got him towards the middle of the draft in his second year he did have some problems
Drafting Jason verett in the first round this man was known to have some injury concerns and it later followed him in his Chargers career four teams with one goal make it to Las Vegas in just a few weeks with all the drama in the air I’ve teamed up with DraftKings an official

Players who eventually joined the Raiders like linebacker Denzel Perryman and also defensive tackle Darius Fon 2016 was also a great great year for Tesco when he found Joey Bosa who despite the fact that he does get drunk and sometimes argue with Eagles fans hey when did the Chargers play this week are
You Snapchatting your little butt buddies videoing you the guy who’s not playing today are those BLS B good I can so can I me me too he is still a great Edge rusher in the NFL and in this same year Tesco found tit and Hunter Henry in 2017 Tom
Tesco was also able to find another great wide receiver for the Chargers and that is Mike Williams making him a top 10 pick that eventually turned into a second contract The Following season in 2018 Tesco would find great talent on defense grabbing Edge rusher uchenna nosu in the second round along with
Derwin James in the first round the Chargers would have a slight set back in the first round of the following draft in 2019 I’m missing on Jerry Tillery who is now with the Las Vegas Raiders but the Chargers ended up having to release Tillery in the middle of the 2022 season
And that’s never a good sign for your organization when you got to release first round picks in the 2020 draft the first draft after moving on from franchise quarterback Philip Rivers Tom Tesco would find his QB Justin Herber Oregon Duck at pick number six there are some rumors and reports that perhaps
Tesco wanted to attack AOA and ended up having to settle with Justin Herbert obviously at this point I think the consensus is is that Herbert is a better QB than to attack aalo but these are just rumors and at the same time Tesco did end up selecting Herbert at pick six
And he should get the credit for some of his success 2021 would be a great draft for Tesco as well picking ran Slater offensive tackle at pick 133 in the first round and then getting a complete Ste at pick 47 in the second round round the LA Chargers would select a Sant
Samuel Jr who’s right now one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL yes the Chargers have not had the greatest success with Tom Tesco since 2013 they have appeared in the playoffs three times and have two playoff victories however the Chargers have always had problems with injuries
And also choking late in the season but in terms of Tom Tesco he’s always done a decent job building a competitive roster however after losing to the Raiders in a historic fashion where the Raiders would score their most points in franchise history under interim head coach Antonio
Pierce Tom Tesco would be fired along with Brandon Staley the LA Chargers have fired head coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Tesco after a historic an embarrassing loss but was Tesco really to blame for this and was he just a casualty due to a franchise wanting to press the reset button
Ultimately John Spanos the owner’s son and the team president who once liked Tesco’s structural preference of hierarchically trumping inexperienced head coaches wanted to finally try his hand at a splashy experienced coach this meant the Chargers had to completely overhaul their front office and coaching staff it was time for Tesco to find a
New opportunity that suited his GM philosophy Mark Davis just so happened to need an experienced GM with experienced drafting Hall of Fame franchise QBs Tesco has said when hiring head coaches that he doesn’t require them to have experience on either side of the ball but needs them to be more
Like a CEO head coaching experience no head coaching experience either side of the ball no parameters there so we’re looking for looking for a teacher and we’re looking for a leader you know the head coach is basically the CEO of the players and the coaching staff it’s it’s
A big operation the Spanos family meddled in front office Affairs throughout Tesco’s tenure with Mark Davis he’ll likely have much more control and much more freedom to do his job the Raiders most recent head coaches were also the deao GM’s John guden and Josh McDaniels Mark Davis has not had a
True general manager with more power over roster decisions than the head coach since 2017 with GM Reggie McKenzie and head coach Jack Del Rio Mckenzie was later replaced by Mike m in 2018 who was highly deferential to John guden of course Dave Ziggler was highly deferential to McDaniels however after
Ziggler tried to distance himself from genius Josh when they were fired on Halloween David hit him back Mark Davis said it was clear where the buck stopped regardless of whether Ziegler accepted that responsibility the Chargers are apparently close to finalizing a deal with Jim Harbaugh who would likely be
Paired with Colts assistant general manager at dods Raiders enm GM champ Kelly and dods were top candidates for the Raiders full-time position when it comes to Tom Tesco his former Mentor Bill poon bouges for him and says he has a great ability to be a people person
And he’s liked by all great he’s a great communicator in the building probably going to be uh maybe a little too lowkey for the media really but but uh yeah but you know that’s okay that’s a good thing after so much toxic Discord and ranker in the Raiders front office and locker
Room under McDaniels and Dave zagler the Pierce telesco partnership may end up bringing much needed team chemistry time will tell how all of this plays out did the Chargers make a mistake by letting go of Tesco and make it a big play for har Baugh did the Raiders settle for

I think I need to attend John Carrol University. It's like the path to the NFL for whatever reason.
Tom has a history of choosing players that are easily injured. Chargers are now in a Cap hell. Tom will need to draft for the Raiders- not for popularity. We need more Maxx Crosby like – dedicated, dependable players.
I remember when my old boss bet me the raiders were gonna be unstoppable because of Gruden, and Mayock. I told him that he was dense as a brick. Well its been at least 5 years and i get to continually watch the raiders make dumb decisions. I cant wait to keep watching them do it. They have a better offensive line than i would've expected and the players want to run off the ol coach. They love their HC with no experience who barely ended positive. It sounds like the raiders are undisciplined, and the players just want coaches who will be buddy buddy with them.
AP can get along with anyone so that's not a issue. You can not overlook 10yrs of experience on our enemy
This GM is a definite upgrade, IMO he is the reason why the Chargers had some of the talent that they had offensively and defensively, and he is a clear upgrade from Ziegler. Who is we all know was a failed actor. To say that this guy won’t work even with Antonio Pierce is absolutely crazy. I think it’s their loss and our gain.
Hit or miss at this point. If anyone says one way or the other is mostly luck. I'm hopeful for the best, but only time will tell. Personally I wanted Kelly or Dobbs but there again nobody really knows. I do feel strongly about AP and for all the haters Aidan O'Connell. Also not blowing all of our pics on #1 2 or 3 pics. We can still get another good QB.
I like how TT helped build a good O Line and didn’t miss on first rounders
I KNOW I CAN COUNT ON YOUR VIDEOS ON MY LUNCH BREAKS TO GET ME ALL CAUGHT UP!
-THANKS BRO!
✊️🏴☠️
I haven't been this comfortable with a head coach since Grudens first tenure
I applaud Mark Davis for taking a leap of faith with AP and Telesco. I feel that the Raiders will stun people next year, and go deep into the playoffs.
I think Davis was looking for someone to fire AP if the team doesn't do well next year.
I don't know why people in the comments ppl are doubting AP especially cause he had them winning some games at the end.
It's not all about head coach experience head coach experience
There's a lot of head coaches in the NFL with experience who are getting fired left and right because they suck!
McDaniels had experience and look how that turned out🙄
experience doesn't make you good
Actually a lot of times the ones who come in with No experience are the ones who are successful because they come in with different ideas and some things that haven't been thought of.
i'll believe it when i see the changes until then i'll keep praying for my raiders
My thought is tom telesco knew ap whould be perfect because chargers couch was week little skinny nerd bitch and how much talet did Stanley had and Could not win .
I like this.
Great video willie love watching your channel
Bring in Russ
Algorithm
And now the freaking Raiders hired a fired Los Angeles charger, general manager! Does this make any sense? How many Super Bowls did Tom Telesco win with the Los Angeles Chargers? 0! This is complete insanity!
Kansas City Chiefs coach is Andy Reid! Denver Bronco coach is Sean Payton! Los Angeles Chargers coach is Jim Harbaugh!
3 the best football minds in the football business, going up against a very inexperienced head football coach on a regular basis, which is Antonio Pierce! Antonio Pierce might win a game here and there against these guys, but he won’t win on a regular basis! The Las Vegas Raiders better hope that Patrick Graham, the defensive coach doesn’t leave the team! I really hope I’m wrong, but I think us Las Vegas Raider fans are in for a long nightmare!
This is all gonna FLOP HARD! Harbaugh will own the AFC West for years to come. Mark Davis is completely clueless as is who he listens too. Once again this wont be on Telesco but rather the coach who was hired BEFORE his arrival. Eventually Telesco will want "his guy" just watch
We don't know if the poor drafting (3-7) was the fault or Staley or Telesco or Spans. If not Telesco's fault they made a mistake losing him.
Love your input bro. Hope draft kings cut the check!🎉
Telsco hires bad coaches. But he finds great talent, especially at QB.
Love your videos. Thank you for your excellent reporting.😎
Raiders 😂😂😂😂😂 .
As a charger fan I can tell you he has hit on very few picks outside of first two rounds. That’s an average of 5 guaranteed misses per draft class. All the chargers good players are 1/2 Rd players and only K. Allen in the 3rd rd stuck.
SEE YOU IN TEN YEARS RAIDERS!!!!
IT'S A 💩💩💩 SHOW IN THE AFC WEST!!!
AND THE RAIDERS ARE SHOPPING FOR COACHES AND GM'S AT THE 99¢ STORE BARGAIN BUCKET!!!!!!!!!
HARBAUGH to the CHARGERS!!!! 👀😔🤮🤡💩
F tom brady we got tom telesco
Yall screwed harbaugh is in LA
We have bigger problems then this. The Charges just hired Jim Harbaugh, now we have to go up against him and Shaw Patton twice a year with a rookie head coach. 😢
Honestly bosa roasted that punk haha
Love your videos man, great content
Hi Audrey 🖐
great…no super bowl or play off appearances untill he gon
Look, he’s not the coach and what happened to the chargers was staleys fault.
Everyone and their mother have praised the chargers for their draft picks and free agency pick ups since Herbert’s been drafted. He’s a good pick up and looking forward to the season
Willie hating on Tua!! Their Records speak for themselves, yes Herbert has better stats 1st 2 years. But Tua been on fire for last 2, and he has a division title.
You forgot Maxx Duggan Austin Eikler and Brandon Facyson
Winning Super Bowls that’s all that matters because if he doesn’t it’s gonna to get old quick the last great raider team 1984 Super Bowl champions
Great Breakdown WW!!
Saints fan,dropping in to show love ❤️ , I think this guy is STABLE and always seems to hit in the first round idk much about what he's able to do outside that round but that's a giant step for the raiders.
The name "Tom Telesco" just SOUNDS like a sports GM 😂 I think this is a really good thing for the Raiders and a great hire by Davis, I hereby rescind my demand that he sell the team and be run out the NFL.
I never really found the Chargers receiving duo to be very good. They're above average
No. Tom Telesco is not good for the Raiders. ESPN has a ranking of how good each team has done in the Draft since 2012. Look it up. Telesco has been the GM for the Chargers since 2013. So Telesco has been the Chargers draft man the entire time except for 2012. The Raiders rank 8th worst since 2012 in draft picks, But Chargers under Telesco rank just barely better than the Raiders at 9th worst. Ironically the Broncos are in a virtual tie with the Chargers, with the slightest of advantages to land at 10th worse. The division's rival, the Chiefs, rank as the SECOND BEST, WAY at the other end of the draft. Even more ironically, the 49ers are the 3rd worst n drafts, way worse than the Raiders since 2012. Go figure.
I'm going to be real WIFI. I don't think Telesco is going to do any better for the Raiders than they have on their own because his record shows he hasn't done any better, well, only slightly better since 2013. My concern extends to Pierce,. Being a strong leaders and being able to get your guys all razzed up to go out and play like beasts only goes so far. We need and Xs and Os guy who understands and can come up with winning game plans. Pierce is not that guy. He is dreadfully inexperienced. Bisaccia was actually highly qualified to be a head coach. In his 22 years of coaching Special Teams he also served as the Assistant Head Coach for 19 of those years, including 7 when Gruden was head coach of the Bucs and Gruden's 2nd stint as Raiders head coach. Most folks don't realize that Bisaccia knew Gruden's offense, understood all the ins and outs of being a head coach. Pierce has ZERO experience in that regard.
The Raider defense that balled out and became the strength of the team was Patrick Graham, exclusively. The Raiders ranked 30th in the NFL in spending on the defense in last year's free agency. Weaknesses on the defense were at all three levels. They needed Defensive tackles, linebackers and secondary help at safety and cornerback. Essentially all Graham got was Jonathan Jenkins for Defensive tackle, Robert Spillane at linebacker, snatched off the Steelers practice squad, and Marcus Epps picked up from the Eagles and Marcus Peters at corner. The Raiders had lost their best cover corner in Casey Hayward and their only Pro Bowl linebacker in Perryman. I looked at this crop and aside from Peters, I was unimpressed. I was shocked at getting Peters. As a cover corner he's one of the best, an interception beast, Graham turned Spillane into a first rate linebacker who runs the D as its QB. I was surprised he didn't make it in the Pro Bowl. Graham made good use of Epps as a first rate safety and with Bilal Nichols teaming with Jenkins shored up the tackle position on defense. Koonce replaced Chandler and is becoming a good bookend for Maxx. Trevon Moehrig has become a good safety. Our corners are solid and Deablo has come along as a good linebacker, who as a converted safety is good at coverage but as an oversized safety he can also tackle. Graham is the man behind that defense and without him, it goes to pieces. I still feel the Raiders should have hired him as Head Coach and Pierce as Defensive Coordinator and let him learn under Graham. If we want to keep him, we'll have to pay him and pay him well.
This team is weak. It still needs a top flight OC. I don't want Kliff Kingsbury. He runs an offensive that s akin to sandlot football. Send every receiver out, have the QB run around and throw to the open guy. It's a makeshift, improvise offense where a guy like Kyler Murray (who can run and hates watching tape or studying defenses), fits in perfectly. In his 4 years there his offense was spotty finishing 21st, 6th, 8th, 22nd. In his 4 years he only managed one winning season followed by a spectacular fall.
As long as AP unites the Raiders that is good, but the experience of Harbaugh can get a team the playoffs. Raiders are going to have to play Harbaugh and the Chargers. Raiders need an OC and QB. Telesco hopefully will make the team better.
They say that with Josh McDaniels, and look what happened
Subscribed to your channel, but I'm a Chargers fan. Im sorry, dude, but this was NOT a good hire. I could enumerate a thousand reasons. He'll build you a decent top heavy team, but it will be absolutely thin at depth, and don't be too upset when you guys develop players only to watch them walk in FA. Take it from me, a fan since 1985 and one who watched his every move since 2013.
Yup! The NFL is WWE.
A person can be brain dead and know that Willie here absolutely hates Pierce. 😂 He wants Jon Gruden to come back and finish destroying the team while hating most of the players he coaches because of… Oh well, ya'll know about the emails.
He said AP was lucky cause Herbert didn't play. Correct me if I'm wrong but if we look at Herbert career stats by which quarter it is, is Herbert not the guy who throws more INTs the deeper the game gets, throws with less accuracy and has done just as much in his STAR career as Willie himself has done? 😂
