On January 18, 2024, the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board unanimously approved a nearly $2 million payment to UNLV to address a revenue shortfall from the university's 2022 football season. This compensation, calculated as the difference between a guaranteed $5 million and UNLV football's reported net income of $3,017,567.23 for fiscal year 2023, amounts to $1,982,432.77. In related news, the Raiders CFO Michael Crome announced plans to purchase a new turf field for UNLV and other collegiate football games at Allegiant Stadium, differentiating it from the field used for tours. On January 19, 2024, Antonio Pierce was confirmed as the new head coach for the Raiders, with plans to bring on experienced staff such as former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. Pierce's appointment follows a successful interim period where he led the Raiders to a 5-4 record, including 3-1 in the division, and the team's defense ranking first in fewest points allowed per game.

God Bless @Raiders HeadCoach Antonio Pierce!!!! Wow God is good. All he needed was opportunity. Thank u to all the @Raiders players, fans and Faithful for supporting my Brother. @ConSchwartz @SMAC
Hearing that one of the selling points Antonio Pierce made to owner Mark Davis was his ability to recruit players.
First task for Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce will be addressing the offensive side of the ball as most coaches won't be retained, including interim offensive coordinator Bo Hardegree, per @RapSheet https://t.co/beoV5B1qVi https://t.co/e0d2Rg4R6H
No secret that Marvin Lewis was going to be part of the @Raiders journey with Antonio Pierce if AP got the gig. He’ll be a tremendous asset for a first-time head coach
I was sketchy on this hire. Now I really like it. Marvin Lewis is a terrific coach. He can and will help Antonio Pierce a great deal. Like this move. It might work. https://t.co/ZyKXM1Ftpj
Mark Davis listened to his players, presumably, and stuck with Antonio Pierce as head coach. Essentially got a do-over and did right by those closest to the situation on a day-in, day-out basis. Now AP gets chance to legitimately grow into the role and show he can have more…
If ever a player could be called a "coach on the field'' it was @AntonioPierce. Go ask Steve Spagnuolo about AP. Good for the Raiders and good for Antonio.
Antonio Pierce took over a broken #Raiders team that was 3-5 and showing no signs of hope. Josh McDaniels had lost the locker room and multiple players were voicing their displeasure in how things were going. Antonio Pierce came in and steadied the ship, winning the locker… https://t.co/QegeRoJmX3

One thing I've heard was pivotal to new Raiders coach Antonio Pierce's candidacy—he was very clear that he knows what he doesn't know, and plans to bring on top people to cover his blind spots. Names like Marvin Lewis and Tom Coughlin were raised to cover the experience gap.
As Antonio Pierce hires staff in Las Vegas, one name expected to be there is former #Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. Pierce brought in Lewis -- who coached him in Washington -- to help him after getting the interim job. Now Lewis is expected to be on staff in a more formal capacity.
The winning record, the stellar defense, the locker room behind Pierce, the attitude and the tinge of regret from not hiring Rich Bisaccia all led to Mark Davis making this call. https://t.co/OpY1rMWUTg
Mark Davis listens to his players this time and hires the coach everyone wants. Finally a smart move https://t.co/VcVw1WRDCG
Deal appears to be almost done. #RaiderNation https://t.co/BnjnWfq0KG
The Raiders went 5-4 in nine games with Antonio Pierce, including 3-1 in the division. From when Pierce took over through the end of the season, the Raiders led the NFL in fewest points per game allowed (16), recorded the most defensive touchdowns (4), and had the fewest… https://t.co/RvvGqHKap0
A new coach for the #Raiders. At long last. https://t.co/al4Wm2EAwk
Raiders CFO Michael Crome said they plan to purchase a new turf field only to be used for UNLV and other collegiate football games at Allegiant Stadium. A different turf field will be used for tours.
