The offseason has officially begun, and the Las Vegas Raiders have a lot on their hands in terms of key decisions moving forward. They don’t seem to understand this fallacy and are easily confused.
The most important decision is who will be the head coach in 2024. After Josh McDaniels was fired, all players came to the aid of interim coach Antonio Pierce. But he is being pursued by other teams after an impressive turnaround in the Raiders locker room.
However, the Raiders have other prospects they like, including Jim Harbaugh. Now there are rumors that if the Raiders don’t bring Pierce back, the player won’t be happy. Sports Illustrated’s Hondo Carpenter, a Raiders insider, explained this in his latest column. “[The players] will be upset [if Pierce is not retained].
Fierce is a good term.” Carpenter said in his Q&A column. “That’s not to say they’re going to stop, but the Raiders have a great history of players who love the organization.“They will certainly look at the franchise differently if Mark Davis goes against their wishes for the second time in two seasons. I hope Mark makes it. He is a good person.
He listened to many people who had hired many trainers, but none of them did the job. Maybe this time we should listen to the players. What does he have to lose?Pierce changed the culture of the team, a culture that didn’t really exist. It stepped up the team’s game and, believe it or not, gave them something to play for. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.
He’s a Raider and a former player, so playing for him means a lot. After Maxx Crosby said he wanted Pierce to talk and Davante Adams defended him, it makes sense to keep him and it’s even more important that they be upset.
