The Raiders have fired coach Antonio Pierce following a trying season, despite a flurry at the end, per me, @TomPelissero and @MikeGarafolo

One and done for Pierce, and Las Vegas is open once again.

Agreed. Ay looks like there's 2 raider fans on Lemmy lol. I wouldn't have minded another year out of AP, but his game management was severely lacking. Punting in enemy territory, weird timeout and clock management. Starting Minschew over Aidan, the list goes on. I definitely liked him as a person. Not so much as a coach.

You're the only other one I've met! I think Lemmy's a bit too techie for your average football fan😂 Yeah I echo everything you said. My theory for why they let AP do the presser is they were keeping him if nobody better was available. I think they heard back from one of the top coaching candidates (maybe Vrabel or Coen, if we're going with connections to Brady) that they were interested in coming here. So AP got the axe.

Another Raider fan here. Love AP. I wouldn't have blamed the Raiders if they waved off the current season as inevitable with the roster. Buy I didn't see a high ceiling with him.
