Antonio Pierce has been interim head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders since the end of October; He is finalising a deal to make the job permanent; It is a decision that will be popular with both players and fans
Pierce took over as Raiders’ interim coach in October after Josh McDaniels was fired. The Raiders went 5-4 under his watch, the team went 8-9 overall, and the players were in his corner from the beginning.
“Why wouldn’t we keep going the direction we’re going?” Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby said after a 27-14 victory over Denver on January 7.
Highlights of the Las Vegas Raiders against the Kansas City Chiefs from Week 16 of the NFL season.
“The fact we’ve come together and done something special in such a short time is hard to do. We’ve got a guy who’s played at the highest level, won a Super Bowl, he’s been a captain, and now he’s a great coach and he’s a leader.”
Pierce also won over much of the fan base. The crowd chanted “AP!” as the game against the Broncos was winding down.
