Raiders fire head coach Antonio Pierce after one season in full-time role
The Raiders fired Antonio Pierce after the team went 4-13 in his lone season as Las Vegas’ full-time head coach.
The Las Vegas Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce after only one season, the team announced Tuesday.
Pierce, 46, went 4-13 in his lone season as the Raiders’ full-time head coach. He was the interim head coach in the 2023 season, posting a 5-4 record after Josh McDaniels was fired.
“We appreciate Antonio’s leadership, first as an interim head coach and this past season as the head coach,” the team wrote in a statement. "Antonio grew up a Raiders fan and his Silver and Black roots run deep. We are grateful for his ability to reignite what it means to be a Raider throughout the entire organization. We wish nothing but the best for Antonio and his family in the future.”
The Raiders promoted Pierce to the head job last January. Before then, he was the team’s linebackers coach starting in 2022.
Pierce played nine seasons at linebacker in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl with the New York Giants after the 2007 season. He started his coaching career in high school at Long Beach Polytechnic in Southern California.
