The Las Vegas Raiders have made a significant change in leadership, firing head coach Antonio Pierce after just one season at the helm. The decision comes following a disappointing 4-13 record, marking a challenging year for the franchise which included a distressing 10-game losing streak. General manager Tom Telesco will remain in his position.

In a statement, the Raiders acknowledged Pierce's contributions, expressing gratitude for his role in revitalizing the team's spirit. Pierce had served as both interim and head coach, stepping up from his role as linebackers coach when Josh McDaniels was let go. Despite his efforts, including a brief winning stretch, the team struggled to perform consistently.
