Let’s face it; Antonio Pierce owns the Raider Nation these days.
First of all, he replaced Josh McDaniels and that bought him a lot of leeway just because he’s not McDaniels, who may go down one of the most hated (if not the most) figures in team history.
Then, Pierce earned big points in his passionate first press conference, saying he was “born” to be a Raiders coach.
Then, of course, the brash Pierce cemented his place in the heart of the fan base by leading the team to a 30-6 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.
