Now that things have settled, and the cigar smoke has cleared… do Pierce deserve a HC opportunity with the Raiders? Are the Raiders playing better because of Pierce or in spite of McDaniels? I wonder how Mark Davis is going to look at the job by Pierce.
I say let him cook. He’s obviously beloved by the team. I want to see what personnel he can surround himself with. If he can provide the big picture and boost morale while getting guys he can trust to coordinate play-by-play, we could have a really solid team (maybe).
I want to see him get a shot. See what he produces being the lead manager of the team, more or less. I don’t think a HC needs to provide anything more than what I listed above. Obviously a bonus to know how to scheme, but not absolutely necessary if he finds the right people to do that for him
