Overview
- Antonio Pierce, interim head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, is a leading candidate for the full-time head coaching position.
- If appointed, Pierce is expected to bring in Kliff Kingsbury, currently a senior offensive analyst and quarterbacks coach at USC, as his offensive coordinator.
- Kingsbury has a history of coaching in the NFL, having served as head coach for the Arizona Cardinals from 2019 to 2022.
- Kingsbury's potential appointment could influence the Raiders' quarterback decisions, given his past experience coaching top NFL quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and his recent work with USC's Caleb Williams.
- Defensive end Maxx Crosby's future with the Raiders may be influenced by the decision on Pierce's appointment as head coach.
