The Las Vegas Raiders and their fan base may owe Antonio Pierce an apology. Yes, things were terrible under his leadership, as the Raiders lost 10 straight games and only beat a slew of backup quarterbacks to finish with a 4-13 record in his lone campaign at the helm.
But things are much, much worse under Pete Carroll during the 2025 NFL season. This is not to say that keeping Pierce would have been the right move, or that things would be much better, but he was made to be the fall guy for what is clearly an organizational failure to get things right in Las Vegas.
