Raiders: GM決定に対するメディア関係者等の当日のコメント
元暫定ＧＭのChamp Kellyが候補として有力視されてきたが、NFL経験の浅いPierceが新HCとして起用されたことに照らし、正規GMの経験がないKellyではなく経験豊富なTelescoが起用された点に目が向けられている。
前職LACで相対的にドラフトでの成果に乏しいとしてその手腕を疑問視する声がある。
Champ Kellyは現状、契約下にあり、その手腕を評価してアシスタントとして留まることを望む意見も見られる。

#Raiders appeared locked in on interim GM Champ Kelly and Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds last week, but got cold feet about pairing a first-time GM with first-time HC Antonio Pierce.

After bringing in Telesco for a second interview on Monday, they go with the former Chargers GM: https://t.co/CF7CuxpzbG
#Raiders assistant GM Champ Kelly is still under contract. Currently, the Chargers and Patriots are the only two teams with GM vacancies. If Telesco wants Kelly on staff and Kelly wants to stay, he could remain part of the franchise in 2024. https://t.co/678jOyf9sb

The Raiders brought Tom Telesco back for a second interview on Monday, and had coach Antonio Pierce meet with him to see how the two meshed. That worked and Vegas also liked ...

• Telesco's experience.
• The Chargers' roster makeup.
• Telesco's knowledge of the AFC West.
“He drafted Keenan Allen, Joey Bosa, Derwin James, Hunter Henry, Rashawn Slater, Tuli Tuipulotu and Justin Herbert. He signed Austin Ekeler as an undrafted free agent. He signed Casey Hayward in free agency, who went on to become a two-time All-Pro. He traded for Khalil Mack.” https://t.co/9VzHv2zZpN

Quick Notes on Telesco, I’ll have more in depth later this evening:
— Tristen Kuhn (@KuhnTristen) January 23, 2024
- Quality drafting Round 1 for the most part (Quentin Johnston, Jerry Tillery huge whiffs)
- Has found quality talent down the board, gotten better with experience which is obvious. Still some notably lacking…
Wow. In-house candidate Champ Kelly made compelling case, but with Antonio Pierce a first-time head coach, Raiders opt for more experience. https://t.co/jdKNNLmaAa

Regarding the Tom Telesco hire: He's from the Bill Polian tree and grew up in the business under the late great Dom Anile, one of the NFL's most respected player personnel executives.

Re: Champ Kelly.
— Vincent Bonsignore (@VinnyBonsignore) January 23, 2024
He is still under contract with the @Raiders as their assistant GM
It could very well end up as Telesco and Kelly working together, unless Champ gets a GM job elsewhere.
Every team has someone independent of the GM that controls the budget and handles the salary cap.

Telesco's primary responsibility will be talent evaluation and procurement.
He's got a solid track record in that. https://t.co/XU0gsfDRpx
Unpopular opinion:
— Moe Moton (@MoeMoton) January 23, 2024
🔘Tom Telesco has an eye for college talent. If you look at the totality of his draft record, it’s a decent track record.
🔘Under Telesco, some of Chargers’ top draft picks have struggled to stay healthy though (Bosa, Mike Williams, Derwin).
🔘Telesco has… https://t.co/HOcj5baUsu
I’m not trying to absolve Tom Telesco of everything because he has his faults, but some of the Chargers shortcomings trace back to ownership (owning family).
— Moe Moton (@MoeMoton) January 23, 2024
Chargers have a President of football ops, his name is John Spanos.
Folks solely blame Telesco for L.A.’s salary cap,… pic.twitter.com/E09pLOc94Z
#Raiders GMs since 2011:
— Moe Moton (@MoeMoton) January 24, 2024
Hue Jackson (de facto GM)
Reggie McKenzie (first-time GM)
Mike Mayock (first-time GM)
Dave Ziegler (first-time full-time GM)

Yup, here's a quantitative view of Telesco's drafting since 2013. It's been well-chronicled of not being very good! https://t.co/Qd8OfrfBuC pic.twitter.com/ooBpdoVv1U

In Tom's defense, he was a bit better when just looking at 1st and 2nd rounders. But championship rosters are built on depth from day 3.https://t.co/ctrFK9LuYS pic.twitter.com/k6olxHloe0
— Arjun Menon (@arjunmenon100) January 23, 2024
I retract my last statement. Listen to Arjun. Tom hit on first and second rounders but bad outside of it. https://t.co/WEsDVWSkdi

Smart to pair 1st time HC with experienced GM. Tom is a great guy & he will be a big asset to Antonio Pierce. https://t.co/cmRrdVXEak

Telesco now has an owner who doesn't have a son and grandkids pretending to run an NFL franchise. Maybe that means he can succeed. #Raiders

#Raiders fans before Tom Telesco was hired as GM: The Chargers were overrated and a failure the last decade

Raiders fans after Tom Telesco was hired: The Chargers had an elite roster and were a great team
I like the addition of Tom Telesco as #Raiders GM, really hope we can keep Champ as his assistant.. but seems like he hits on a player almost every year in the Draft until recent:
— RC (@RaiderCody) January 24, 2024
2013: Keenan Allen
2014: Jason Verrett
2015: Melvin Gordon, Perryman
2016: Joey Bosa, Hunter Henry…
Here’s a few good players #Raiders new General Manager Tom Telesco played a hand in drafting:
— Levi Edwards (@theleviedwards) January 24, 2024
- Andrew Luck
- TY Hilton
- Keenan Allen
- Melvin Gordon
- Joey Bosa
- Derwin James
- Denzel Perryman
- Mike Williams
- Rashawn Slater
- Justin Herbert
- (UDFA signing) Austin Ekeler pic.twitter.com/VG1qhtzCn0
No division titles, only four of his picks taken after the first round were signed to extensions and routinely lacked depth at key positions. https://t.co/d2DbfUw4I7

.@Raiders GM Tom Telesco comes from the Bill Polian/Ryan Grigson tree--his method of operation when it comes to building the team's culture is one that is tough, physical & mentally in it. He loves players who have a "passion" for the game w/good instincts & undying work ethic.
— Ryan Sakamoto (@BEASTwriter) January 23, 2024
People running that QB scramble on who GM Tom Telesco is. Ever since he took over back in 2013, I watched the moves he makes. He definitely wants to prioritize the trenches and build his team from the inside/out. That will be a priority this offseason imo. - #BEASTwriter

Tonight was fun, had tog go to the ER because my heart rate was going crazy and I was having hella hard time breathing. I was ready for the worst, but it ended up being a severe panic attack.

Take care of your mental health and eliminate stressors in your life
I think we are incredibly bad evaluating GMs, because a large part of their work is invisible to us and the visible part is evaluated on a small sample.
— Timo Riske (@PFF_Moo) January 23, 2024
However, Telesco is a GM who neither strikes me with good process on the visible part, nor are his results great.
Pretty interesting that he is the one who bucks the trend of GMs not getting a second chance, let alone in the same year he was fired.
