Davante Adams wants Antonio Pierce to remain Raiders head coach: 'That's my vote'

In a Fox News article published on January 3rd, it has been reported that the Las Vegas Raiders will start their search for a new head coach this offseason, with star player, Davante Adams, openly endorsing the current interim coach Antonio Pierce for the role. Adams made the comments during a recent press interaction, stating that much of the team feels the same.

Adams explained that under Pierce's helm, the team has performed commendably, gaining the favor of the team. He believes that Pierce embodies the raider's identity and ethos, thus making him an ideal fit for the team's coaching role.

Pierce, who took over after Josh McDaniels' exit, has been appreciated for his profuse energy leading a charge in the team's rally. Although the Raiders have not qualified for the playoffs, Pierce managed to secure a balanced record with the team throughout his interim term.

Pierce, in the past, has emphasized his affinity for being a player's coach, a stance that seems to have improved the team's performance since McDaniels' departure. He maintains a grounded approach to how the game should be played and what he expects of his players, which Adams appreciates.

Pierce has developed a bonding with the players, and Adams' open endorsement will likely added weight in the decision-making process.

In a recent interview, Pierce told USA Today that he believes in demonstrating his worth on the field rather than presenting impressive statistics or a fancy presentation. He is hopeful that team owner Mark Davis will acknowledge the team's growth, appreciative fan base, and a shared atmosphere of hard work. Most importantly, he emphasizes the necessity of winning games.
