After a 34-20 loss to the Chargers to end 2024, the Raiders finished 4-13. This time a year ago, the team was 8-9 to end the 2023 season and had positive momentum. Las Vegas finished the season 3-1 and 3-0 against AFC West opponents. On top of that, they found their new head coach in Antonio Pierce.
At the beginning of the 2023 season, Pierce was the linebackers coach for the Raiders. The team fired Josh McDaniels mid-season and Pierce was named interim head coach. Players rallied behind Pierce and owner Mark Davis eventually offered him the full-time position. His time in Las Vegas lasted just one season after a 4-13 finish as a head coach. Now, the team will look to hire their fifth coach since the 2021 season.
