The Las Vegas Raiders are in search of their next head coach once again after firing Antonio Pierce earlier this week. Two days later, the Raiders fired general manager Tom Telesco. As Raiders owner Mark Davis tracks down the next coach to lead his franchise without a general manager, he will have another opinion to lean on this cycle—Tom Brady's.

Tom Brady, a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, is expected to have a lot of influence on the team's head coaching search.

Mario Ferraro produced a fight and the game-winning goal, Marc-Edouard Vlasic notched a point in his season debut and the San Jose Sharks broke an eight-game losing streak by edging the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Thursday.
