Adam Schefter is reporting that the Las Vegas Raiders are finalizing a deal to hire Antonio Pierce as their next head coach. This was the move that was pretty much expected from the beginning. It became that much more the thing that was going to happen when Maxx Crosby basically came out and said he would demand a trade if the team didn’t hire Pierce.
This is of note to us because the Tennessee Titans interviewed Pierce. We said from the beginning that he was not likely to end up here because of the job he did with the Raiders after taking over for Josh McDaniels.
