Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby wants interim head coach Antonio Pierce to take over the full-time role and become the team’s permanent head coach.
“There’s only 32 [NFL] head coaches in the whole world,” Crosby said on Thursday. “So you’ve got to find a leader of men. And when you’ve got one of them in the building currently, I don’t know why you would let them go.”
This isn’t the first time that Crosby has thrown his support behind an interim coach. Crosby also wanted Rich Bisaccia, who took over as the interim for Jon Gruden when he was unceremoniously fired, to receive the full-time gig. Owner Mark Davis ended up hiring Josh McDaniels instead, which ended in disaster after a year and a half.
