Breaking: Antonio Pierce, the Las Vegas Raiders’ aggressive interim coach, is still accepting interviews.
Since the regular season concluded, a number of teams in the league have shown interest in hiring Antonio Pierce as the interim head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Even though a lot of Raiders players have expressed their affection and want for the coach to stay, the Raiders won’t be the only team trying to sign him.
Following Mike Vrabel’s firing, Pierce recently visited with the Tennessee Titans, who are in the process of selecting a new head coach. Although the Titans are an intriguing opportunity, the coach is probably more interested in sticking with this Raiders team because they are going through a significant offensive makeover. The Atlanta Falcons have now asked to speak with the coach in an interview.
In this bizarre coaching carousel, Arthur Smith was recently sacked as well, therefore Atlanta is currently searching for their next head coach. They have some incredible young pieces to work with, and this is a more intriguing job than Tennessee.
The Raiders have not scheduled any interviews at all, although Antonio Pierce is scheduled to have a follow-up interview. It makes reasonable that other clubs would want to see if Pierce would be a fantastic fit as their team’s leader given how well the squad was performing under his leadership.
The Falcons have a wealth of youthful talent at the skill position and have made solid draft selections. They are very almost a playoff squad; they simply need to find a quarterback.
The Falcons are the team that has the best chance of removing Pierce from Vegas. The Raiders risk destroying the locker room if they don’t move immediately to take him down. The players’ desire for Pierce to return as their coach for the upcoming campaign has been loudly expressed. Beyond that, Maxx Crosby has gone even beyond.
Crosby stated that if Pierce is not reinstated as the team’s coach, he would look at trade possibilities. Probably the finest player on their team, Crosby is among the league’s best defensive players. The coach was creating something on the defensive end of the ball and in the locker room culture, so Vegas shouldn’t play around and bring him back.
The likelihood is that the coach will return to Las Vegas for the upcoming campaign, but if the franchise waits too long, Pierce might be considered for one of the other open coaching jobs. Given how uncommon it is for an interim coach to receive this kind of support from the locker room, the coach deserves to be reinstated.
