Antonio Pierce had an eventful run as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. First, he was the interim that the team rallied around, as a kid from South Central LA got to live out his dreams of being the head coach for his childhood team.
But reality very quickly set in when Pierce took over as the full-time head coach. No longer was the team taking down the Kansas City Chiefs and hanging 63 points on rival teams in primetime games. The Raiders finished 4-13 and endured an embarrassing 10-game losing streak in 2024.
Pierce was fired after just one full campaign, which seemingly shut the door on his NFL coaching dreams for the 2025 NFL season, as he didn't get so much as an interview to be a coordinator.
