The Oakland Raiders have fired Jack Del Rio as head coach.

The Raiders finished the 2017 season with a 6-10 record. 

Del Rio was informed of the decision by Mark Davis following their loss to the Chargers in Week 17.

“Mark let me know that he’s not going to be bringing me back,” Del Rio said. “He told me he loved me and appreciated all that I did to kind of get this program going in the right direction. But he felt like he needed a change.

“I told him how much I appreciated the opportunity he gave me, and I mean that. Very grateful. My childhood team. But it’s a results business. I understand.”

The Raiders are expected to hire Jon Gruden.
