Las Vegas Raiders Fire Head Coach Antonio Pierce

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired head coach Antonio Pierce after just one season, following a disappointing 4-13 record. Pierce, who initially took over as interim head coach in 2023 with a 5-4 record, faced significant challenges this season, including a ten-game losing streak and injuries to key players. The Raiders' ownership, which includes Tom Brady, is expected to play a pivotal role in the search for Pierce's successor, with Mike Vrabel emerging as a top candidate. Other potential candidates include Brian Flores and even Pete Carroll, as the team looks to rebuild after a tumultuous period. The Raiders aim to find a coach who can stabilize the franchise and potentially lead them back to the playoffs, a feat they haven't achieved since 2020. The coaching vacancy marks the fourth change in head coaches for the Raiders in the last decade.
