In meaningless games after the season was alreadly over like I said a billion times.
Yeah part of the problem with your logic is that the games were not meaningless to Pierce or the players on that team. They are playing for their jobs. They will not get resigned / signed by other teams if they play like poo poo once their team was out of playoff contention. Also, they were not technically out of playoff contention until late in the season.

What's the top 10 defense thing? Over the second half of the seasoon where they played the Jets and the Vikings and the Chargers? The idea that people are buying into that strikes me as silly.
You identified 3 of the 9 teams that the Raiders played with Pierce at the helm. Of those three teams, you understand that the Vikings were playing for their playoff lives and have a talented offense even without Kirk Cousins, yeah? The Raiders defense was a total loving joke the first half of the season, the fact that they went from that to beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead with a stagnant offense is remarkable.

Also you seem to be ignoring the fact that the Raiders played a bunch of joke teams before McDaniels got fired.

There are tangible facts that can be looked at to cite improvement of the team. The defense playing better overall, going from one of the most penalized teams under McDaniels to the least penalized team under Pierce. But you keep saying that none of that matters.

Why would multiple teams all wait for a single dude when they haven't even interviewed him? They don't even know if they like him, and while they wait all the other a available candidates are getting snapped up.

Teams don’t want to wait until potentially after the superbowl to get started on hiring a head coach. Guys interviewing for jobs don’t want to wait until after the superbowl to know if they’ve got a head coaching job. They don’t want to wait that long to start putting together a staff when many of their choices will have already decided to go elsewhere at that point.

Yea, it sucks for the team they work for but unless the NFL prohibits it it’s going to keep happening because it’s always to the benefit of both the teams hiring and the people interviewing to start sooner.

Teams need to install a new coach quickly so they can start prepping for free agency and the draft. It just isn't workable for them to sit and wait for a month in the hopes that a candidate might check every box they want during the interview phase and choose to sign on with them.

The Raiders are a team that's badly needed a culture shift for decades, and Pierce came in and shifted it almost overnight. There's no way in which he can be considered a bad hire.

It’s a Raiders appointment you can look at and hope it genuinely goes well for both him and them, rather than waiting to dunk on everyone involved when it inevitably goes tits up like the last few.

I just don't think that "getting a team pointed in the right direction" in games in december after you're out of the playoffs already really matters at all. That doesn't mean he won't be a good coach but I don't buy that as a reason why.


I think Pierce is a good hire but people yelling at you for doubting the hire is silly. Consider these factors:



Record of interim coaches since 2000 who kept job:
Jason Garrett 80-64, 3 playoffs
Mike Mularkey 18-14, 1 playoff
Doug Marrone 22-42, 1 playoff
Leslie Frazier 18-29-1, 1 playoff
Tom Cable 13-19
Mike Singletary 13-18
Dick LeBeau 8-24
Dave McGinnis 16-32
Romeo Crennel 2-14
Mike Tice 32-32, 1 playoff to this list



in addition to this, sure you can rally your troops to turn around a season, but can you plan your own season? Can you adjust to when teams scheme against you with preparation?

It's also worth noting that guys who go from position coach to head coach (while skipping the coordinator step) often have trouble with that sort of thing. And even most of the coordinators have difficulty figuring out how to operate, plan, and coach a team during the offseason as effectively as possible. You can't win a Super Bowl during the offseason but you sure can royally gently caress up your chances during it.

Kind of funny that the most notable exception to this position coach rule is... Andy Reid.

I think Pierce is a good hire but there is definitely risk

Its a good hire because of the feel good story and he has the locker room support. The raiders desperately need a culture refresh and why not give a shot to the guy who beat the chiefs without passing for 3 quarters? Plus he's making the right moves to grow into the role rather than coasting on whatever he did as a coordinator.

Will he pan out though? Probably not given the interim history BUT I think for Pierce's case most of this will depend on if he has a good GM that can get some offensive talent.

Nothing about him taking that job means he can't take another HC job. It was just a soft landing for him when they fired him. Again, if you watched his press conference it was 1 billion percent clear that he wanted to coach the Seahawks this year and that he wants to coach again.

Yes, he wanted to coach the SEAHAWKS this year. He can’t do that so he’s hanging around in an executive role. If he wanted to coach another team this year he’d be out interviewing for other jobs instead of accepting a role with the Seahawks.

Do you really think teams haven’t called him? He’s not interviewing because he’s not on the market.

Even if he really does want to coach again, the fact is that he's not taking interviews so I'm not sure how you expect a team to hire a guy that literally doesn't want to interview for the job. Is Mark Davis supposed to kidnap him and force him to coach the Raiders at gunpoint or something?

Alternatively, he can kidnap his family pet and send him a photo reminiscent of the National Lampoon cover with a gun to the dog's head and force him to coach that way.

I think we're going to hear about other teams calling him and him taking those calls before this hiring cycle is over. It doesn't make sense for him to sit out a year at 72.

McMagic does have the right read on Pete’s presser and subsequent media interviews. It seems like Pete does want to coach again but is taking a bit of time to reflect.

McMagic has the wrong read about Pete being willing to sit out a year from coaching, at his age. Because Pete has limitless energy and will die happily on the sidelines mid-game chewing gum, at age 105. Pete could chill this year then try and find something to coach next year.

But also I wouldn’t be surprised if Pete does end up with a coaching gig later in this offseason. Probably not NFL, but somewhere.
