Are the Raiders a good landing spot for a coach?

On By Littum

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of a disappointing season. The Raiders haven’t found the success they would have liked under first-year head coach Antonio Pierce. Pierce took over as interim head coach last season and did a great job. Pierce landed the Raiders’ head coaching job last season, but hasn’t had the season the organization envisioned.

It’s not all on the head coach – there have been many factors as to why the Silver and Black have had an abysmal season.

With four games remaining, the Raiders are 2-11 and currently hold the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Raiders are a talented team on both sides of the ball that needs to find a franchise quarterback. They have dealt with injuries all season and the offense, like last season, has struggled.

The Raiders have already made coaching changes during the bye week this season. After the season, the Raiders will have to make a decision about Antonio Pierce. If Raiders do move on from Pierce, is the Raiders job a good landing spot?

“In a division with Andy Reid, Jim Harbaugh, Sean Payton … Antonio Pierce, I know him and I like him, he feels overwhelmed,” radio host Colin Cowherd said on “The Herd.” “It’s the best coaching department. You’re arguing now that you have three first-ballot Hall of Fame coaches. Antonio Pierce has never been a head coach. I don’t think that was a winning proposition. Does that sound to you like going into a season, Antonio Pierce and Gardner Minshew, against Harbaugh and Herbert, Mahomes and Reid … I think it’s a very interesting job They have a left tackle, a superstar tight end To me, they’re an offensive coach and quarterback away from being interesting, but even if they get it right, the division is a Hall of Fame Mount Rushmore.

“Mark Davis said earlier this week in Dallas that he likes how hard the guys are still playing, so that’s a good thing,” said NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. “And I think we both like Antonio Pierce. The bigger question is, is Mark Davis going to pay three different head coaches who are no longer in the building? … If he fires AP, he pays Pierce, McDaniels, and (Jon) Gruden. None of them are in the building. Then you have the Tom Brady element… It’s a really good job.
