Cant disagree. Last time the raiders promoted a line backers coach to head coach was Madden. Thats all I got lol.
One thing is certain though, Antonio Pierce has his team willing to run through walls for him. He is a motivator and they have bought in as of now. Most "cheerleading" coaches fizzle after some time and/or when things get tough but maybe if AP surrounds himself with a solid staff, who knows? If he is retained, I wonder if he keeps the defense as is but wonder where he goes with the offensive staff and the QB spot. Aiden is a 4th round rookie QB and often plays like one so the QB room does need upgrading.
This is the first time in decades that the Raiders defense looks hungry and angry and shows some swag.
