Many people in the locker room of the Las Vegas Raiders have stated that they believe Antonio Pierce should be the next head coach. Davante Adams expresses his thoughts once more.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ impending selection over head coach has received a lot of attention.
Davante Adams shows his support for Antonio Pierce
Interim Coach Antonio Pierce is the person the players, who are closest to the issue, believe is the best fit, have expressed throughout the second part of the season.
Adams said , “Yeah, I mean, he’s obviously who I want, that’s my vote, and I’ve been vocal about that,”
“That’s basically how the whole locker room feels, and with good reason. I mean, he’s come in and done a great job, and he’s continued to win us over. It’s not just the comfortable thing.
“Having AP [Antonio Pierce] here will be a big deal for this organization. He kind of embodies what it means to be a Raider, and that mentality, that swag, and all the things that he endorses are the things that I believe in. “It’s easy for a guy like me, especially having dealt with him a little bit this year now and gotten to know him and see his evolution in front of the team and all those things, all the different feels of being the head coach. So, I’m definitely rooting for him.”
Pierce’s playing experience has made him favorite
Adams, like a lot of other players, believes that Pierce has a unique connection with players that most coaches don’t have because of his playing background.
Adams said, “Just that experience — like I said before a bunch of times — having played, understanding where we come from to be able to give a good assessment of the game as far as our effort, whatever it is,” “Sometimes it’s hard to really know if you don’t — I can’t tell you how hard a dog is going because I don’t know what it feels like to be a dog — well, my version of being a dog, but now an actual dog.”So it’s hard to say that dog is not going hard enough. You don’t know if that dog is tired or whatever the case is. So, having played, you understand that part of it, and he just has a realistic approach and mindset of how the game is supposed to be played, and what he expects from his players, and it’s easy to get behind that.”
Nobody can predict who Raiders owner Mark Davis will select to take over as head coach.
On the other hand, Pierce has continued to receive vocal and on-field backing from the players. According to Davis, he respects his players’ viewpoints. If it is, only time will tell.
