16 Jan
Summary
- Antonio Pierce is set to interview for the Falcons head coach position.
- Pierce previously coached the Raiders after an interim stint.
- He joined CBS Sports after his departure from the Raiders.
Antonio Pierce, recently a commentator for CBS Sports, is expected to interview for the Atlanta Falcons' head coaching position this Friday. Pierce's NFL coaching career saw him take the helm of the Las Vegas Raiders as an interim coach in 2023, subsequently securing the permanent role after guiding the team to a 5-4 record.
Despite his initial success, the Raiders' 2024 season resulted in only four wins, leading to Pierce's departure from the organization. Following his exit from coaching, Pierce joined the broadcast booth at CBS Sports for the 2025 season.
While Pierce also interviewed with the New York Giants, the team is reportedly moving towards hiring John Harbaugh. This potential move signifies Pierce's continued pursuit of an NFL head coaching role following his experiences with the Raiders.
