New minority owner Tom Brady’s voice is carrying a lot of weight with Mark Davis in the Raiders’ search for a new coach and general manager.

Brady is supposedly only in an advisory role for the Raiders, though several league sources are convinced his influence is much greater.

The Raiders made the decision Thursday afternoon to fire general manager Tom Telesco after just one season with the team. His firing came two days after the organization moved on from head coach Antonio Pierce as well. Rumors and speculation have run rampant since those decisions were made but Brady's fingerprints appear all over the recent moves.
