BREAKNG NEWS: 4 Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator candidates to support Antonio Pierce…

Antonio Pierce may end up being the Las Vegas Raiders’ next coach, if the team respects the wishes of its players.

The Raiders will assess potential 2024 offensive coordinators after the interim head coach stays on.

When Josh McDaniels’ offense wasn’t working, Las Vegas fired its head coach, and the defense improved under

Pierce’s leadership. The Raiders’ offensive was still among the worst in the NFL, though. In addition to being able to

do anything with the offensive weaponry, Las Vegas has to locate a strong offensive play-caller who can also provide

a young coach valuable experience.

Four possibilities to be the Raiders offensive coordinator for the 2024 season have been identified, if Las Vegas

decides to retain Pierce as head coach. Interestingly, we took into account that long-term instability at quarterback

and head coach will make this a less desirable position to open coaching positions, and we gave priority to coaches

with decades of experience.

NFL teams wanted Eric Bieniemy to demonstrate that he wasn’t a beneficiary of having Travis Kelce, Andy Reid, and

Patrick Mahomes, so he left the Kansas City Chiefs. He took on a challenging role with the Washington

Commanders, and some progress was made during his first season of managing all play-calling responsibilities. But

just as importantly, without Bieniemy, the Chiefs’ offense also saw a significant setback.

Bieniemy provides something different to Pierce, even though he lacks the head-coaching expertise we’d like to

partner him with. There is a commonality among the Raiders’ holdover coaches, including Pierce, in their approach

to player relations. Bieniemy is a tough coach who will not hesitate to confront and discipline his top players for

infractions. Bieniemy has been coaching NFL players for more than ten years, although he has never held the

position as head coach.

You have a cohesive team that works well together when you combine that with Pierce’s teaching style.

Additionally, Bieniemy’s love of running the ball and spreading the field should help the Raiders offense become

more reliable in 2024. If all goes according to plan, Bieniemy may turn a strong season for the Raiders’ offense into a

head coaching position somewhere.
