00:00Despite the Raiders sending Antonio Pierce out there for a press conference on Monday as a
00:07postpartum for the disastrous four-win season that was, that led to Antonio Pierce saying,
00:13yeah, I'm coaching like I still have a job until I am told otherwise. I guess yesterday,
00:20Pierce was told otherwise after only one year as the full-time head coach in Sin City.
00:26Antonio Pierce fired by this Raiders organization. DRS, what was your reaction to this big news
00:33yesterday afternoon? It wasn't surprising to me because, you know, again, the failures of
00:38the organization, and this has nothing to do with Antonio Pierce who rallied the troops last year
00:43and then got the head coaching job for this year, but the expectations always were,
00:47let me get this straight, Denver probably won't be really that good because they're breaking in
00:50Bo Nix. They have a lot of dead cap space. They turned out to be really good. Peyton's,
00:55probably going to be a Hall of Fame head coach when it's all said and done. Bo Nix was a really
00:59hit on a first-round draft pick, and away you go. But then you took a look at the Chargers,
01:03like, boy, that seems going to be really good the next couple years, and then it's always the
01:06Kansas City Chiefs. But if anybody looked at Antonio Pierce's job and said, come on, man,
01:10you got to have at least nine or ten wins out of the team, nobody thought that. We thought the
01:13Raiders would stink coming into the year, and they did. That's no indication on the head coach and
01:17how it played out. Here's the problem that you made. You put a head coach in there with no,
01:22did we really think he was going to be like the building block guy and say, you know what,
01:25we're going to draft quarterbacks and you're going to hone the skills? No. He got the team
01:28to play for him, which is something that is tough to do sometimes on a least talented team, like you
01:33take a look at the Raiders. But for my money moving forward, why didn't you fire him midway
01:36through the season? Because what really hurt you was beating the Jaguars and beating the Saints
01:40late, when you could have fired him five games left in the season. Interim coach, you know what
01:45your job is. I can't tell you to lose, but you know what your job is. It's to lose at this point
01:50here. So that's the only thing I'm disappointed. He's going to be fine. And for the people out
01:53there, it's unfair. And I can't believe they did this to the coach. He wins. Let's just say most
01:58coaches get four to five year contracts with guaranteed money. He worked one season and got
02:03fired, which means he's going to go to another team and still get that head coaching money from
02:07the Raiders to not be a head coach, or he can be very personal. He'd go right into the booth and
02:12do jobs where they want to do color commentating or just be a part of a pregame show and get those
02:16big checks here. He's not the loser. The Raiders are the losers. And the next coach coming in,
02:20he's going to be the loser. Why? Because the Davis family is still in ownership.
02:25Put it into perspective here, right? Only in sports. Let's just say if your father
02:29was a neurosurgeon, like, hey, that's awesome. And when he retired, your son, even if he didn't
02:34go to school, got to be the neurosurgeon. That doesn't happen in real life. But in the NFL,
02:39it does. Hey, just hand it over to my son who knows nothing and runs it into the ground,
02:43but still makes a profit. I feel bad for AP. I feel bad for the Raiders fans.
