The Atlanta Falcons added one more name to their list of potential coaching candidates on Sunday morning. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the team has requested permission to interview Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce.
The Raiders appointed Pierce to the interim role after firing Josh McDaniels on October 31. Las Vegas went 5-4 to close out the season and many expect Pierce to stay on as head coach.
One more for Antonio Pierce: The #Falcons have requested permission to interview him for their head-coaching job, sources say. Pierce interviewed for the #Titans’ gig yesterday. The #Raiders have not conducted any known HC interviews to this point.
