Breaking News: Las Vegas Raiders Head Coach Antonio Pierce Entangled in Major Bankruptcy Case – 2024 Offseason

The consensus around the NFL is that the Las Vegas Raiders made the right move by removing the interim tag from now-head coach Antonio Pierce heading into the 2024 season.

Pierce, who began the 2023 season as the linebackers coach, took over as the team’s interim head coach after Josh McDaniels was terminated in late October. Pierce led the Raiders to a 5-4 record during his interim tenure, earning him the position as the 23rd head coach in team history.

While the specifics of Pierce’s new contract remain undisclosed, it is clear that the former NFL linebacker has secured a significant pay raise.

However, this financial success may come with challenges, as a substantial portion of his earnings may be jeopardized due to a bankruptcy case. Pierce and his wife have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Arizona District of the United States Bankruptcy Court, putting his assets at the mercy of the courts.
