Las Vegas Raiders Coach Antonio Pierce didn't have much time to prepare before taking over halfway through last season. This season, he's trusting the coaching staff he's put in place to help make the team, and himself, better.
The Las Vegas Raiders' coaching staff is filled with coaches with years of playing experience in the National Football League. Coach Antonio Pierce was sure to hire plenty of coaches with many years of NFL coaching experience for his coaching staff. One of Coach Pierce's main lessons since becoming the team’s head coach is that he can only be in one place at a time.
“I can't do everything,” Pierce said last week. “I can't be in every room. Just like right now, we've got meetings going on. I can't be in there. But it really started with our staff, having them present in front of the entire staff different projects, both offense to defense to special teams, getting some of our younger coaches to speak up and talk. As you can see, we hired, I think, a really good staff, and it's a lot of us, 29 coaches to be exact.
Raiders’ defensive line coach Rob Leonard appreciates Pierce’s confidence in him and the other members of the coaching staff. Leonard said Pierce's trust in the coaching staff has not gone unnoticed.
