He was 5-4 as interim coach in 2023 and the Raiders players went to owner Mark Davis saying they wanted Pierce back.
Pierce got the fulltme head coaching gig but it was a dismal season. The Raiders went 4-13.
They had all sorts of issues and injuries at quarterback with Gardner Minshew, Desmond Ridder, and Aidan O’Connell. playing at times.
Las Vegas started the season 2-2 and then lost 10 in a row before beating the Jaguars and Saints.
The season concluded with a loss to the Chargers.
It will be fascinating to see what direction this search takes. Could Tom Brady being a minority owner of the team have influence?
And this answers that.
Raiders limited owner Tom Brady is expected to be part of a collaborative committee to interview head coaching candidates and support team owner Mark Davis, per league sources. pic.twitter.com/0xyl0kAYv3
