Raiders Players Want Antonio Pierce To Stick As Head Coach

11 months ago

Las Vegas Raiders Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby and wide receiver Davante Adams have made it clear that they want Antonio Pierce to be retained as the head coach heading into the 2024 season. Owner Mark Davis is said to be a big fan of Pierce's, but the question will be whether there is another candidate, such as Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, who tempts Davis enough to pass on Pierce. Even if the Raiders want to hire Pierce, they would still be required by NFL rules to conduct a full search and go through the complete process. Raiders coaches and staffers were told they won't be blocked from looking for other jobs at a team meeting this week, but that the organization wants to be kept in the loop on any potential opportunities. Some took this to mean that Pierce and general manager Champ Kelly aren't locks to have their interim tags removed.
