Antonio Pierce survived Black Monday, but he didn’t survive the day after. On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Raiders fired him as head coach.

The team released a statement announcing his dismissal roughly 48 hours after the Raiders lost 34-20 to divisional rival, the Los Angeles Chargers, to finish their season with a 4–13 record.
