For some reason, the Las Vegas Raiders waited until well after Black Monday to make a firm decision on Antonio Pierce's future with the franchise. After just one full season in charge of the Raiders, the franchise decided they had seen enough to have evidence of the fact that the team was going nowhere under Pierce.
Over a season and a half in charge of the team, Pierce went 9-17 after initially taking over as the interim head coach midway through the 2023 season when Josh McDaniels was shown the door. A 4-13 campaign in 2024 (which included a 10-game losing streak bang in the middle) along with two wins to close out their last three games means the Raiders are also well short of being in the range to draft a franchise quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft.
