Raiders Fire Coach Antonio Pierce, Seek Replacement

The Las Vegas Raiders have initiated a head coach search following the firing of Antonio Pierce after a disappointing 4-13 season. They are reportedly pursuing high-profile candidates, including former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, as well as Detroit Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. The Raiders, who have had a tumultuous coaching history with five coaches in as many seasons, are keen to revitalize their struggling offense, which ranked near the bottom of the league last year. Carroll's extensive experience, including a Super Bowl win, and Johnson's track record of leading a top-performing offense make them attractive options. The team is competing with several others for the same coaching talent, which could complicate their efforts to secure a new leader. As the search unfolds, the Raiders aim to find a candidate who can effectively address both their offensive and defensive shortcomings.
