LAS VEGAS -- Following the Las Vegas Raiders' season-ending 27-14 defeat of the Denver Broncos on Sunday, owner Mark Davis told ESPN he is "really excited" about the job Antonio Pierce did in leading the team to a 5-4 finish after he took over as interim head coach.

But Davis also noted he has no time frame in naming a full-time coach and acknowledged he must set up interviews, at least two of which must be with external minority candidates to comply with the Rooney Rule.

"Yeah, I think the team really played well down the stretch, and I think going 4-2 in the division is really a positive for us," Davis said.
