Antonio Pierce Expects To Return As Raiders Head Coach
2 days agoPer ESPN's Adam Schefter, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce expects to return to his same role leading the team next season. "I haven't been told anything different," said Pierce. The former New York Giants linebacker took over as interim head coach in Week 9 of 2023, closing out the year with a 5-4 record. However, he was far less successful in his first full season -- culminating in a 4-13 record on the back of a carousel of bad quarterback play. For now, his job is safe, but he'll need to do a better job of getting quality play out of whomever the QB for the team is in 2025. With the Raiders slated to pick sixth in the upcoming NFL Draft, they'll be out of the range of one of the top available options at the position. Unless they trade up, it looks like they could be returning to the veteran well once more next season.
