The decision, confirmed by team management late Monday, comes amid escalating pressures for organizational change as the Raiders look to steady themselves after a turbulent season.
Pierce, who took the reins with high hopes of transforming the team’s trajectory, had faced mounting scrutiny over recent misjudgments that allegedly impacted both team morale and performance. The specifics of these incidents remain undisclosed, but sources close to the organization describe a tense internal environment, with calls from players and staff for a return to stability and cohesion.
“Coach Pierce has been a passionate leader, but unfortunately, some missteps led to this difficult decision,” said a Raiders spokesperson. “Our priority remains creating an environment that best supports our players and staff, and we feel this move is essential for the future of the franchise.”
