The Tennessee Titans made headlines yesterday by announcing that they were going to fire head coach Mike Vrabel after six seasons. Now, they need to look forward and find someone to replace him. Recent reports reveal an interesting candidate to take the position.
Tennessee Titans Request to Interview Antonio Pierce
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans have requested to interview Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce. He was the interim head coach of the Raiders for the final nine games of the 2023-24 NFL season.
What This Means
Rapoport claims that Las Vegas now has competition for Pierce’s services. Right now, we do not know if the Raiders want to retain Pierce or if Pierce would choose the Raiders over the Titans. However, there is one clear thing.
Raiders players love Pierce. Most notably, Raiders star WR Davante Adams wants Pierce to remain with the Raiders. There are good reasons for this considering the direction the Raiders were heading by the end of this season.
Las Vegas went 5-4 while Pierce was the interim head coach after starting the season 3-5. The Raiders put up impressive stats during this time compared to the first half of the season. Now, we will see if this means Pierce is going to be highly desired around the NFL.
