“We appreciate and wish him and his family all the best,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a news release. “Moving forward, general manager John Spytek will lead all football operations in close collaboration with [minority owner] Tom Brady, including the search for the club’s next head coach.
“Together, they will guide football decisions with a shared focus on leadership, culture, and alignment with the organization’s long-term vision and goals.”
