In an exciting development for the Las Vegas Raiders, Antonio Pierce has been appointed as the team's permanent head coach, following his interim position after the in-season firing of Josh McDaniels. Notably, one of Pierce's former coaches, Tom Coughlin, is reportedly set to assist him in building his coaching staff.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Coughlin provided consultation to Pierce during the regular season and will continue to offer his guidance as Pierce looks to assemble his team of assistant coaches in Las Vegas. Coughlin, who coached Pierce during his time with the Giants from 2005 to 2009, holds invaluable experience and expertise.

Pierce, a defensive leader for the Giants during their victorious Super Bowl XLII campaign against the Patriots, greatly benefited from Coughlin's coaching style. Coughlin had a successful tenure with the Giants until 2015 and most recently served as the head of football operations for the Jaguars.

While the Raiders have finalized their decision to appoint Pierce as the head coach, their search for a General Manager still continues. The selection of the General Manager is expected to have a significant impact on the team's next steps during this offseason. Key components of this process will involve carefully choosing the right offensive coordinator and quarterback for the Raiders.

With Antonio Pierce at the helm and the support of his former coach Tom Coughlin, the Raiders have a promising foundation as they enter the next chapter of their football journey. Fans eagerly await the upcoming season to witness how this new leadership will shape the team's fortunes in Las Vegas.
