Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce's Media Day was much different this time around -- as the full-time lead man of the Silver and Black.
In just three months, Pierce will coach his first game as the full-time head coach of the Silver and Black. After an impressive interim tenure that saw him pull upsets, break records, and captivate fans and players, Pierce more than earned the job.
Pierce joked at Monday's Media Day with JT the Brick, Raiders legend Eric Allen and Your Boy Q that he almost didn’t attend last year’s event. He reflected on his journey of becoming the head coach on Monday’s four-hour "Media Day Live Raiders Roundtable" on the team’s YouTube channel. “It’s been a great opportunity," Pierce said. “Fun, exciting, looking forward. Looking forward to training camp, looking forward to getting all the guys in the pads bonding, building what we’ve been doing over the last several months in the offseason program, and just let it all fly; let it all lay out when we get out on that grass.”
Allen asked Pierce how he felt his coaching style and culture-building methods had progressed over time and if it has become easier to coach the way he coaches.“When your top players, when your best players believe, it’s easy for everybody else to fall in line,” he said. “I think for me, you deliver the message; you don’t harp on it; you empower your coaches, your coordinators, and then your players to own it.
There’s a palpable buzz around the Raiders this offseason. It’s now up to Pierce to put it all together and lead the team back to the postseason.Carter Landis studied journalism at Michigan State University where I graduated in May of 2022.
