The change happens after the franchise dismissed boss Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler today.

“It will Aidan as QB1 in the future,” interim coach Antonio Pierce shared today.

Pierce was promoted to the vacant managerial position from LBs coach, while assistant GM Champ Kelly will work as interim GM.

McDaniels made the calls on offense, and it was his scheme that the organization was running. With offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi also dismissed, Las Vegas is promoting QBs boss Bo Hardegree to offensive coordinator and playcaller.

One question will be answered in the upcoming weeks – if the league’s number 31-ranked total offense in yards per match was the problem, and it was an ex-head coach scheme, what system will the team run in the future?
