The Las Vegas Raiders are working to finalize a deal to hire Antonio Pierce as their head coach, according to sources. The Raiders made Pierce their interim head coach on Halloween night when they fired Josh McDaniels and are now closing in on giving him the full-time job. Things had been trending this way with several key players on the team publicly endorsing Pierce for the job. All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby said he'd request to be traded if the Raiders didn't hire Pierce full time. An ex-linebacker with a Super Bowl ring, Pierce went 5-4 as the interim head coach in 2023 and has managed to get his players behind him quickly as an ex-player. If the Raiders hadn't decided to keep Pierce around, there's a chance he could have landed a head-coaching job elsewhere.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
