Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce and tight ends coach Luke Steckel were already close before Coach Pierce took over. Their mutual respect for each other continues to grow.
Arguably, one of the most significant problems for the Las Vegas Raiders over the first half of last season was the lack of chemistry between the players and between the players and the coaches. While firing Josh McDaniels and elevating Coach Antonio Pierce to the head coaching position helped with that, more work still needed to be done in that category this offseason.
Steckel said he did not know Coach Pierce beforehand but was eager for the opportunity to join the Silver and Black.
