I am so sick of people wanting Gruden back the man’s record in his 2nd stint was 22-31

[@christianpower645]

I'm gonna give the Raiders some free advice Ryan Day of the Ohio State Buckeyes look at my team right now they are in the final four of the College Football playoffs

[@christianpower645]

If the Raiders were were to hire him the Raiders would be in the playoffs in the Snap of a finger

Gruden is a terrible coach

[@marshallnmoonshine]

Man, he seems like a scapegoat here. I'm a Chargers fan, so the hotter that dumpster burns, the funnier it gets to me. That said, I really liked how he embraced the physical playing that the Raiders used to be known for. They absolutely flattened the Chargers last game of last year, but it resulted in Chargers bringing on Harbaugh. I don't know that AP was the problem.

[@unmalo2768]

Well, you're a Chigger fan, so coming from you, not much makes sense

Is the scapegoat! The real person who should be owning up to all this is the FEC k i n owner of the Raiders for his poor leadership as the owner of the team!!!

He wasn’t the scapegoat. He should have never been hired. If you watched every play of every game you would have seen he made horrible in game decisions. His own guy Crosby called him out and the staff out around week 12-13 for no accountability and no structure in practices. Smarten up

[@Rigamus11]

Antonio Pierce is a moron, dude. EX-Raiders fan here. I watched AP on Maxx Crosby's KZbin show before the season started and just about lost my mind... I knew he had no fucking chance of being a successful coach. He's truly stupid. I mean that. And you can say whatever you want about this next comment bc I it's the truth and idc- hip hop culture is not the culture you want for your professional football team and that's the culture he promoted. You didn't see the successful NE patriots acting like a bunch of wannabe gangster rappers. The Chiefs don't act like that. Winning football teams have a winning culture. They dont pretty they're Lil Baby or Tekashi or any of those of other shitty rappers that think they're gangstas. AP is a moron and so are the ppl who hired him. The players begged Mark Davis to hire him... The whole team from top to bottom is composed of fucking morons.

His tenure was doomed to failure from the outset.

[@gamblingknowledge]

I supported Antonio Pierce, but he went with a less talented Gardner Minshew after Aidan O’Connell was the main reason why Antonio Pierce became the Head Coach for an extra year. I do like his passion as a Head Coach, but at this time I’m neutral on the decision. I would like to see an Offensive minded Coach such as QB Josh McCown who is popular among players, has a Very High Football IQ and very involved in evaluating talent. This is who the Raiders need to Hire as Head Coach. I would also like to see Rob Ryan promoted to being in charge of the Defensive. He’s a Man’s man , in other words, if lady reporters are in the locker room, he’s gonna still not hold back on his language, sons of Buddy Ryan know Defense. For QB, I feel they should go after 6’5” WR from Arizona Tetairoa McMillan, not often does a WR with WR Mike Evans 6’4” height become available that has Speed, Good Hands & Height. Mike Evans every year of his career has had over 1000 yrds receiving. With the 2nd Round, they should go after SEC Mississippi QB Jaxson Dart, has the arm , very mobile and fun to watch. I believe he’ll be better than Sanders, Cam Ward & Ewers. The money saved on Adams, they should go after the Chiefs FA Guard Trey Smith, Dolphins FA Safety Jevon Hollander to be back there with talented young Safeties Tre’Von Moehrig & Pola-Mao. Also, should go after FA’s Rams Tackle Alaric Jackson and they should look into FA RB Nick Chubb as long as he can pass a thorough physical.

Some of these teams are in such a mess financially and talent wise that one offseason can’t produce a winner the next season. No one has patience anymore. If you hire a coach to a 5 year contract he should be given at least 3 or 4 of those years to build it his way and win.

Cut the power each game, in every stadium, to make the other teams forfeit. RAIDERS fan 35 years here. It was AL declining in health with ego swelling and then Mark being manipulated and taken advantage of for our organization's fall from greatness. AP was chosen by the players and deserved ONE more year. If just to show other coaching candidates, we are trying to STABILIZE the organization. AP was a team player, maybe too much. Now we're back to players like Mac, Jacobs, Maxx and Bowers being treated unfairly. Instead of the organization letting them go crazy feasting at the table, they have to hold up a leg of the table while trying to eat. Plus, there's another leg missing! Soon, players will NOT want to even go there. No matter the history of the team. No one wants to SERIOUSLY coach there. They just fired the one who did.

Raiders finally so something right! LETS FUCKING GO! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Didn't keep Josh Jacobs like A.P. said was necessary. Didn't trade up to get Jayden Daniels like A.P. said we need to do Malcolm, defensive gem missed the season... C. Wilkins missed most of the season... Maxx missed half the season... etc... Plus offensive line was a total development... SO FIRE A.P. ??? Bullcrap...

[@Scarlet01812]

Josh Jacobs needed an offensive line to be a good player. You see that this year. He would have suffered another mediocre year with the S&B. I’m happy he got to leave and experience winning football

that was Ziegler that franchised Tagged Jacobs..

[@livelifec2315]

It's about time. He didn't do squat, didn't do nothing to lead men to a winning culture. Let's say it like it is, he's not a good coach period!!

[@fadya.3660]

I’m not willing to say race played a role in this. I believe it’s a relevant discussion in NFL coaching, but this specific situation is just a shit coach being fired.

Lets get coach Belichick in there... Lets GO!!
