List of General Managers Fired/Resigned in NFL Football in 2021

Full Story on Mike Mayock Being Fired as LV Raiders General Manager

With Mike Mayock gone, now is the time for the Las Vegas Raiders to make a list of top candidates. In fact, the recognizable applicants could be qualified to become the team’s new general manager for the 2022 Season. LV fired Mike Mayock as GM following the team’s Wild Card Playoff Loss vs. Cincinnati Bengals. Mayock’s dismissal is not the only story involving the Raiders over the past couple months.

Earlier in the season, Gruden resigned as head coach after three and a half seasons following their home loss vs. Chicago Bears on October 10. Raiders Associate Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia became the team’s Interim Coach for the remainder of the season. Gruden compiled a 22-31 overall record with no playoff appearances. At the time of the stunning announcement, the Raiders were 3-2 for the season before finishing with 10-7. Gruden faced racism allegations in his prior emails and his former team (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) removed him from the Ring of Honor.

Mike Mayock’s Career with Las Vegas Raiders & Football

During his time in the Sin City, Mike Mayock led the Raiders to a single playoff appearance in 2021. However, his tenure as GM was overshadowed with off-the-field legal issues involving his signed players like Antonio Brown along with Henry Ruggs III (#12 pick in the 2020 draft) and Damon Arnette. Despite Mayock’s dismissal, the Raiders made the playoffs for the first time since 2016. The club is looking for its postseason victory since the 2003 AFC Championship Game vs. Tennessee Titans. Prior to becoming the Raiders GM in late 2018, Mike Mayock was the color commentator/analyst for the NFL Network (2004-2018). He had no previous front office experience when he joined the Raiders in 2018.

Now, many Raiders football fans might be wondering: Who is the leading candidate to replace Mike Mayock as Raiders GM in 2022? The top candidates listed in this article have prior front office experience. In addition, those candidates have been on the executive staff for at least three years.
