The Las Vegas Raiders fired Antonio Pierce after his first full season as head coach, the team announced Tuesday.

The Raiders are retaining general manager Tom Telesco, who was hired for the role last season, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Raiders limited owner Tom Brady is expected to be part of a collaborative committee to interview head coaching candidates and support team owner Mark Davis, league sources told Schefter.

that list is why you should become a head coach, even if you truly believe you just want to be a coordinator. It's like once you enter the rotation, there will always be an opportunity to jump back in somewhere.

they don't call it the "coaching carousel" for nothing.

The Raiders have not won the Super Bowl since the 1983 season. 

The level of ineptitude is just amazing.

Jim Plunkett, Marcus Allen, Kenny King, Todd Christensen, Cliff Branch, Dave Dalby, Ted Hendricks, Lyle Alzado, Howie Long, Mikey Marvin, Matt Milley, Lester Hayes, Mike Haynes, Vann McElroy and others were on that roster. These are just the names I could come up with off the top of my head.

Just criminal in what they have done to that franchise.

I guess when you’re 5-12, 7-10 seems like a step up 

It is a very Chicago Bears sort of move. As a Cowboys fan who lived in Chicago for 10 years... I sadly relate to their fans. But.. Chicago has played in a Super Bowl since Troy Aikman retired.

It's going to be awesome when they trade up to #1 so they can get Travis Hunter.

Don’t know why this post irritated me. I guess I’ve always thought Super Bowls is a flukey metric for greatness vs. looking at a team or player’s winning percentage. The Lions and Browns have never even played in a Super Bowl game. The Bengals, Bills, Titans, Chargers, Falcons, and Cardinals have never won one. Does that render them all shittier than the Raiders? And a perennial 9-7 dude Eli Manning is rolling around with two rings.
 

The Raiders presently suck because they hired Mike Mayock as GM a few years ago, who drafted like a fantasy fanboi. One player who was a hit went to jail for murder. They jettisoned their 8-8/9-7 guy Derek Carr and got much worse at QB. They let Josh Jacobs go and traded Davonte Adams for a fraction of what they gave for him. They shouldn’t have caved after the Gruden email leak. Franchise is a mess though.

My point was that they threw away greatness for just about 40 years of idiocy. Nine 10-win seasons since that Super Bowl. Two playoff appearances in the past 23 seasons.
