Survive Black Monday, only to be landed on Tuesday. This is the sad reality for Antonio Pierce. While we thought that the coach would be reappointed in 2025 after the lack of communication the day after the end of the regular season, NFL Media announces that the Raiders have decided to end Pierce’s tenure at the helm of the team.

Promoted to interim coach after the dismissal of Josh McDaniels during the 2023 season, Antonio Pierce was officially appointed during last offseason. But at the end of another failed season, a record of 4-13 and a last place in the division, the franchise decided to change direction once again.

However, the adventure had started well. Pierce had given heart to the squad. The team had achieved a positive record under his command in 2023 with 5 victories for 4 defeats. But without convincing reinforcement in the offseason and with an unchanged situation at the quarterback position, things have logically been complicated this season. The team also offloaded its best offensive asset during the season by sending Davante Adams to the Jets. In the end Pierce has a record of 9 wins for 17 losses.

Las Vegas is therefore beginning an Nth new chapter, and will therefore experience in 2025 his 5th coach in five seasons.
