As the Las Vegas Raiders’ head-coaching search kicks off this week, it appears the top two candidates may be interim head coach Antonio Pierce and Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Pros of Pierce:
He knows the roster:
Pierce has been with the Raiders for two years and he spent nine games as the head coach. He has a strong knowledge of the roster and what needs to be done to make improvements moving forward. He would have a nice head start over Harbaugh or any outside candidate if he gets the job.
