Raiders coaching candidates with Antonio Pierce fired
© Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesThings have shifted dramatically for the Las Vegas Raiders within the past 24 hours.
After holding a press conference Monday suggesting he was staying, Antonio Pierce was fired from his post as Raiders head coach on Tuesday.
With the firing, the Raiders are now looking for (counting interim head coaches) their tenth head coach in the last 16 seasons.
The hiring process will be a tricky one for general manager Tom Telesco to navigate. While the Raiders have talent headlined by Pro Bowlers Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby, the lack of a franchise quarterback will lock them out from the top tier of candidates.
