Las Vegas Raiders Coach Antonio Pierce has begun his first training camp as a head coach in the National Football League. It has not been without a few challenges.
Coach Antonio Pierce played nine seasons in the National Football League, but this is his first training camp as a head coach in the NFL. Pierce served as the team’s leader for the final nine games of last season, giving him on-the-job training that will help him this upcoming season, but he did not get to experience a training camp as head coach.
Training camp is even more critical than usual as the Raiders enter a pivotal season with many new coaches and players. There is also one fewer preseason game than in years past, and the Raiders will not hold joint practices with other teams, meaning Pierce and the Raiders must be even more efficient with their time at training camp. As Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy and the Raiders install a new offense and try to improve even more on defense, every detail matters for Pierce.
Pierce said while there have been challenges, they have been alleviated by the fact that he has two well-respected head coaches in his corner.
