00:00 In my opinion, the absolute right decision by the Vegas Raiders.
00:06 Absolutely.
00:07 I like to hire and the kids and the players fought for him from the minute that he took
00:11 over.
00:12 They beat the Jets.
00:13 They beat the Giants.
00:14 Yeah, they beat two divisional opponents at the end of the year.
00:16 After they get shut out three nothing in terms of Minnesota, a game that they actually covered,
00:21 they step up with a 63 point performance against LA and beat the doors off of Kansas City in
00:27 the arrowhead as a double digit underdog.
00:30 So for me, that shows that he could coach this team up.
00:33 I agree.
00:34 The players love playing for him.
00:36 He's a defensive minded head coach.
00:38 They were disciplined as long as he builds the staff around him.
00:41 I think this is a great hire and you know what?
00:44 He's shown an ability to go toe to toe with potentially the best team in the division,
00:49 which is the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:51 Right?
00:52 I mean, as a former player, that's what more can you ask for?
00:55 No.
00:56 And I agree with both of you here.
00:57 Also, it's the only way I would disagree is it was like, hey, by the way, Insider Report
01:01 said Jim Horrible personally called Mark Davis saying he wanted that job.
01:04 And Mark's like, no, I think we're going to go Antonio Pierce.
01:07 But you're right.
01:08 Like an up and coming coordinator.
01:09 We did the retreads before we did the television general managers out here.
01:13 Why don't you just get a coach that the team is going to play for you and you as the owner
01:16 surround them with the talent that he needs to win in the offensive coordinators with
01:19 the innovative minds.
01:20 Because the one thing we can watch the Raiders, they're playing very good football and meaningful
01:24 football.
01:25 And over the past 20 years, that actually means a lot for the Vegas Raiders because
01:28 they haven't done that quite a bit all that time.
01:30 I like the move here if they give it to Antonio Pierce, unless, as I said again, if it's one
01:35 of those coaches, I was like, hey, like Nick Saban made a phone call to Vegas like this
01:38 is the perfect spot for me to transition back into the NFL.
01:41 Like, no, no, no, no.
01:42 Antonio Pierce is going to be our guy.
01:43 But the argument against it, what would it be like?
01:45 Oh, why don't you give him the job?
01:47 Because you want to give it to somebody.
01:48 You know, give him the job.
01:49 Let him go with it there.
01:50 Yeah, I actually don't know if there's a single person within the realm of reason like a Kyle
01:56 Shanahan's actually I'd love to live in Vegas.
01:58 Right.
01:59 I call it the guy.
02:00 Yeah, right.
02:01 But to be like Donnie, I wouldn't have picked Harbaugh over Antonio Pierce.
02:05 I wouldn't pick Saban.
02:06 I wouldn't pick Melochek.
02:08 I it's they've been down that road before, I think is my thing, Donnie.
02:12 And all the excitement.
02:13 If they take Jim Harbaugh, right?
02:15 Yeah.
02:16 I think Crosby still wants out.
02:17 I think Devonta Adams still wants out.
02:19 You don't think so?
02:20 I do.
02:21 A lot of cash.
02:22 I think Antonio Pierce has more cash with these guys in this locker room because sometimes
02:26 do.
02:27 And I think anybody out there watching can relate to this.
02:29 You want to have fun going to work, right?
02:31 Like you guys can probably tell when you watch.
02:33 This is a blast.
02:34 I look forward to this every time I'm on four hours of sleep.
02:37 Nobody cares.
02:38 But it doesn't matter because this is what we're doing.
02:39 And at the end of the day, these Raiders players and they've spoken about it.
02:43 We're miserable going into that locker room day in and day out.
02:47 Antonio Pierce makes sure that they enjoy where they are.
