The owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, Mark Davis, ultimately made the decision to promote from within and offer former linebacker coach Antonio Pierce a chance to manage the team after multiple head coaches failed.
As the newest head coach of the team, Pierce has the responsibility of guiding the Raiders back to the postseason.
Following Josh McDaniels’ dismissal, Pierce was named interim head coach and turned the club around, going 5-4 in his nine games in charge.
Pierce, a former player and Super Bowl champion, is familiar with what it takes to succeed at the top levels and establish a bond with the team.
Since Pierce has received nothing but favourable feedback thus far, Las Vegas must be optimistic about his potential, given a full offseason to prepare.
By hiring a sizable crew to assist Pierce, the corporation is ensuring he gets the resources necessary to thrive, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
31 employees, including a large crew, work under Antonio Pierce. The Raiders are behind their new head coach, according to Fowler.
Despite having proven he has what it takes to lead a club, Pierce is still a rookie and will probably require more input to help him with the day-to-day details of being an NFL head coach.
The Raiders’ decision to surround Pierce with more players as he finds his bearings is perfectly acceptable and demonstrates their complete faith in his skills.
For Las Vegas and Pierce, the 2024 NFL season will be exciting as they attempt to return to title contention.
