The Las Vegas Raiders have a defensive-minded head coach in Coach Antonio Pierce. However, he has spent more time with the offensive side of the ball this offseason.
The Las Vegas Raiders went from having an offensive-minded head coach to a defensive-minded head coach halfway through the season.
The continuity the defense already has, and Las Vegas’ overall comfort level with its defensive roster and coaching staff has allowed Coach Pierce the opportunity to focus less of his attention on that side of the ball this offseason. In his first offseason as an NFL head coach, Pierce has spent more time this offseason with the offensive side of the ball, learning how the new offensive coaching staff communicates to the players what it is they are trying to do.

Pierce noted how the change of pace has been good for him, coming from the defensive side of things. However, Pierce also believes the change of pace between the coaches on the offensive side of the ball and how they communicate can better help players learn what is being taught, as players tend to get bored listening to the same voices and coaching styles repeatedly.
