He was a member of the Colts organization in February 2007 when the club defeated the Chicago Bears 29–17 in Super Bowl XLI.

Telesco worked as an intern with his hometown Buffalo Bills and as an area scout and scouting assistant for the Carolina Panthers before joining the Colts.Telesco earned a business management degree from John Carroll University in 1995. He was the Blue Streaks’ starting wide receiver and a key player in JCU’s 1994 Ohio Athletic Conference title victory.

Las Vegas Raiders’ high-stakes bet on Antonio Pierce: 3 keys to avoid failure

With Antonio Pierce taking over as head coach, the Las Vegas Raiders hope to make it back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2002.

After leading the Raiders to a 5-4 record in his brief temporary role as head coach, Pierce’s appointment to the permanent position marks a significant turning point for a team hoping to rebuild.

The Raiders’ fan base, who was determined to see a coach with “swagger” take the helm in Las Vegas, is exuberant and the locker room excitement is palpable.

Now that the NFL draft is quickly coming, Pierce and whoever owner Mark Davis selects as the team’s new general manager will have a huge assignment ahead of them: revitalizing the Raiders.

Although the team’s formidable defense offers promise, Pierce’s decisions as head coach will be carefully watched as his faltering offense comes under tight scrutiny.
