This could be a good deal,as the Green Bay Packers are interested in signing a new coach
Ordering the recently hired NFL head coaches
The NFL’s head coaching carousel has officially ended with the appointment of Dan Quinn by the Washington Commanders. Eight coaches have new positions, and none of them are Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, or Mike Vrabel, barring any unplanned firings. It’s time to evaluate each team’s performance in the coaching carousel now that the dust has fully settled.
For the Raiders, this was the ideal addition. It was simply an acquisition that the Raiders could only make. Antonio Pierce prepared meticulously for his head coaching tryout in the interim. Throughout his nine games, he guided the Raiders to a 5-4 record, which included historic victories over the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers. He gained so much support in the locker room that Maxx Crosby
vowed to make a trade request if Pierce wasn’t hired by Las Vegas. He changed the culture in Vegas, won the locker room, and has a chance to kick off 2024 on a high note. It will be necessary for him. Interim coaches promoted to full-time positions have a combined.435 win percentage since 2000.
- Even that figure is positively skewed by Dallas’ 80-64 run by Jason Garrett. Five of the ten coaches are gone after just two seasons, meaning that most only have a short tenure. Only two years of NFL coaching experience, including the temporary trial-by-fire period, precede Pierce’s appointment to the position. It would be great if Pierces’ shift in vibe could carry on, wishing the Raiders success. Simply said, history is not on his side.
