So to have that in place obviously (is) a Diego Maradona Jersey big part of taking this job.

Just think of when (the) Raiders were playing really good football Juventus Jersey , and thats going to be your offensive coordinator, hopefully, as we go forward. Will Champ Kelly remain? For now, at least. Kelly became the interim GM at the same time Pierce was elevated and appeared to be a strong candidate to get the position full time. It's tough saying no to anybody that wants a job, Davis said. Champ has been very valuable and still is a very valuable person in this organization, and we're grateful to have him here.Unle s he gets an opportunity at another club, Kelly likely will remain in Las Vegas as the a sistant general manager and help Telesco try to put together a competitive roster. Pierce also will be part of the proce s.Its a partnership for a reason because its not a one-person job, Telesco said. I dont have all the answers, so were going to use all these people that we have scouts, coaches and head coach.___AP NFL:
