Sources: Raiders working to finalize deal to hire Antonio Pierce
The Las Vegas Raiders are working to finalize a deal to hire Antonio Pierce as their head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.
Update: Raiders remove interim tag, name Antonio Pierce head coach
When Davis first promoted Pierce, who had never been a head coach above the high school level, Davis told ESPN he did not want Pierce to necessarily "coach," so much as "lead" and "delegate."
They didn't hire him to read, they hired him to lead! lol
They weren’t going to make the same mistake twice
Good for him.
Linebackers coaches becoming HC, so hot right now. (Him and Mayo)
This may be the popular move. I don't know that it's the right move though.
His relative success just shows that Josh McDaniels was literally doing more damage than good. This hire is gambling on getting a system that's self-sufficient with only high level input from the head coach.
It can work, but not sure if Mark Davis can handle that.
