It’s done. Antonio Pierce and the Raiders have reached a deal for him to have he interim tag taken off as the team’s full time head coach. And the response on social media has been tremendous.
Let’s start with the man who has been the most vocal about bringing back AP — Maxx Crosby — and go from there.
Let’s Work!! 🦅🏴☠️

Was particularly impressed by how well the Raiders defense played in the 2nd half of the season. Gotta nail the OC hire and figure out QB but this is good. https://t.co/MfNUpz5Dd4
