Las Vegas Raiders Fire Head Coach Antonio Pierce After Disappointing Season
The Raiders are now searching for their fifth head coach since 2021 following a 4-13 season and a winless division record.
- Antonio Pierce was dismissed as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after finishing the 2024 season with a 4-13 record and last place in the AFC West.
- The Raiders endured a 10-game losing streak and their first winless season against division opponents since 2006, prompting the decision to move on from Pierce.
- Pierce, initially promoted from interim to full-time head coach in 2024, struggled with game management and offensive production despite support from key players like Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams.
- The Raiders face a challenging rebuild with significant roster holes but possess over $107 million in salary cap space and the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
- This coaching vacancy joins five others in the NFL, including the Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, and New York Jets, with varying levels of appeal for prospective candidates.
