Las Vegas Raiders Fire Head Coach Antonio Pierce

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired head coach Antonio Pierce following a disappointing 4-13 season, marking his dismissal after 1.5 seasons with a total record of 9-17. The team acknowledged Pierce's contribution as both interim and head coach but ultimately could not overlook the team's struggles, including a 10-game losing streak and finishing last in the AFC West. Pierce, a lifelong Raiders fan, was initially praised for reigniting the team's spirit but failed to maintain performance in 2024. The Raiders are now in search of their fifth head coach since relocating to Las Vegas and will involve general manager Tom Telesco in the hiring process. With Tom Brady now a minority owner, significant changes in the franchise's management and direction are anticipated. The Raiders must address their quarterback situation, which saw inconsistent performances from starters Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell throughout the season.
