00:00 Antonio Pierce, who was the linebacker coach, is now going to be the interim coach for the
00:08 rest of the year.
00:09 He's going to run the show, Scottie.
00:10 He had a couple good ones yesterday at his first press conference.
00:13 First of all, he was a player and he expects the players to step up with him in charge.
00:19 Here's Pierce.
00:20 Through this, they understand what it's like, a coaching change in the middle of the season,
00:22 and I'm relying on our leaders to lead.
00:24 I'm coming here with the game plan.
00:27 This is the picture that we're trying to paint, but they got to carry it throughout.
00:30 The best teams that I've ever been on as a player or as a coach, player ran.
00:35 Player ran, bottom line.
00:37 Devontae knows what it is.
00:39 Max Crosby knows what it is.
00:40 Robert Splane knows what it is.
00:41 Our captain's leaders know what it takes.
00:44 They got to go out there and do it, and they got to carry that message and make sure that
00:46 resonates, and we block out all this outside noise because we're going to get some over
00:50 the next 72 plus hours.
00:52 That is just us against the world, and that's our mentality going to be right now, us against
00:55 the world.
00:56 There is no Raider Nation against everybody else.
00:57 Yeah, there is no Raider Nation, first of all.
01:00 Second of all, I'll give you this.
01:03 He's right.
01:04 I've always said that these coaches, they give them way too much credit, and they give
01:10 them way too much abuse.
01:12 They blame coaches for everything.
01:14 The players are the ones that make the plays and win the games.
01:18 Coaches have nothing to do with big games other than preparing them for the game and
01:23 standing on the sideline.
01:24 Oh, they call plays, whatever.
01:27 Check down, call whatever you want.
01:28 You think that Tom Brady listened to people telling him what play to run?
01:33 You think Patrick Mahomes does what he wants on the fly?
01:37 It's players that win championships and that make plays.
01:40 Pierce knows how to play.
01:42 I won't deny it.
01:43 He also knows how to cheat.
01:45 When he was at Arizona State, thank God he's not in college anymore.
01:49 He was one of the most corrupt coaches in college history.
01:52 He did everything dirty, everything illegal.
01:54 He got busted clean and then ran off to the NFL.
01:58 He scurried off to the NFL and nothing happened to him.
02:01 I find it truly amazing that Herm Edwards and Antonio Pierce got in no trouble at all,
02:08 and then they left the school naked and barren and under NCAA probation.
02:12 Out the door.
02:13 He's dirty.
02:14 He's as dirty as your garbage.
02:16 Quickly, here's another one from, of course, he won a Super Bowl with the Giants, also
02:20 played for Washington.
02:21 He was born, Scotty, a Raider.
02:23 Here we go.
02:24 I had opportunities to leave and go to other organizations.
02:28 I decided not to.
02:29 The short story, the matter of fact is I grew up in Compton, California.
02:33 I was born a Raider.
02:35 I was born with the Raiders rolling in the Coliseum in LA.
02:38 I was rolling with NWA, talking straight out of Compton, rocking Raider hats.
02:43 So when the opportunity came to work with Josh and Pat Graham and Dave, I jumped on
02:47 it.
02:49 So that's what set me up for this.
02:50 I was born this way.
02:51 Yeah, because he was thrown out of college football, and it was the only job he could
02:55 get, and he's a Giant, and he's tripping if he thinks he's a Raider because he grew up
03:00 in Compton.
