Raiders: HC決定に関するメディア関係者等の当日のコメント
面接状況や選手の発言からAntoio Pierceの採用を念頭にHC選考プロセスが進められたと受け止められている。
暫定HC時の仕振りに対する評価からPierceの起用は概ね肯定的に見られている。
当初、優先事項とされたＧＭの採用がＨＣに遅れている点を疑問視する声がある。

It's a mistake to assume @Raiders owner Mark Davis was only swayed by the feelings of his players on decision to hire Antonio Pierce. Going all the way back to the day Davis made AP the interim coach, he had a gut feeling he would be the right guy for the job for the long-term

And to AP's credit, he validated Davis' gut feeling by doing a great job. He earned the full-time gig as a result.

Thoughts on Pierce hiring:

Can't argue with it. Was impressive.
He has potential to have Dan Campbell-like affect.
Surprised there was no real search. Why not?
Weird focus was on GM first, but coach hired first.
Things changed when Maxx Crosby made stance. Locker-room driven.
The #Raiders have yet to make a decision at GM. Owner Mark Davis originally stated he preferred to hire the GM before the HC, but that changed during the process. They've interviewed Champ Kelly, Ed Dodds, Terrance Gray, Tom Telesco, Trey Brown and Kelly Kleine Van Calligan. https://t.co/hudhzHcan4

One thing I've heard was pivotal to new Raiders coach Antonio Pierce's candidacy—he was very clear that he knows what he doesn't know, and plans to bring on top people to cover his blind spots.

Names like Marvin Lewis and Tom Coughlin were raised to cover the experience gap.

Whether you love/hate #Raiders hiring Antonio Pierce, this boils down to whom AP hires as his OC and what the Raiders do at QB.

It’s still a QB-driven league, and you’re not going to be a playoff team with a subpar offense.
Raiders and Pierce have dated, and the honeymoon…
Based on the known candidates who interviewed for the #Raiders HC job, it seems like it was Antonio Pierce all the way.

Locker room gotta be happy about this, and we can put the Maxx Crosby trade chatter to bed.
Maybe Josh Jacobs’ Raiders tenure isn’t over yet?

As Antonio Pierce hires staff in Las Vegas, one name expected to be there is former #Bengals coach Marvin Lewis.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 19, 2024
Pierce brought in Lewis -- who coached him in Washington -- to help him after getting the interim job. Now Lewis is expected to be on staff in a more formal capacity.
While the #Raiders were focused on getting a deal for Antonio Pierce done, Las Vegas now has to address the general manager position. Getting Pierce done was the priority.

In 2022, Raiders players wanted Mark Davis to hire interim HC Rich Bissacia. Davis went elsewhere.

Two years later, Raiders players wanted Mark Davis to hire interim HC Antonio Pierce. This time, Davis has listened. https://t.co/RvvGqHKap0
