Interim Head Coach Antonio Pierce Makes Strong Case for Full-Time Raiders Position
Pierce's Tenure Sees Improved Performance and Playoff Hopes for the Las Vegas Raiders
- Interim head coach Antonio Pierce has led the Las Vegas Raiders to a 4-3 record since taking over midseason, including a recent win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Pierce has made a strong case for becoming the full-time head coach, stating 'My resume is on the grass' and hoping that team owner Mark Davis sees improvement and growth in the team.
- Despite Pierce's success, the Raiders are required by the Rooney Rule to interview at least two external minority candidates before making a decision on the head coach position.
- Pierce's tenure has seen the Raiders potentially turn their season around, with a current record of 7-8 and a chance at making the playoffs if they win their final two games.
- Pierce's success comes after the Raiders fired previous head coach Josh McDaniels midseason, under whom the team had a 3-5 record.
