Las Vegas Raiders players credited head coach Antonio Pierce for keeping them motivated despite a 10-game losing streak and 4-13 season, and the team unity is part of the reason he expects to be back as head coach in 2025.
"I'm really proud of how we finished the season," Pierce said Monday at his usual day-after-game press conference.
Pierce said he is continuing to fulfill his role as head coach and hasn't heard "anything different," leading to the expectation that he will be in the role in 2025.
Tight end Brock Bowers and quarterback Aidan O'Connell were among the players who said Sunday they wanted Pierce to return.
