Considering all factors I believe Mark Davis should today offer Pierce a $10 million 1-year head coach contract. If next year AP leads the team to consistently winning games MD can tear up the contract and offer AP a 3 or 4 year contract. If the team does not play well then AP is fired and the Raiders don't have to eat another long term contract.Be_Easy_25 » Tue Jan 09, 2024 8:55 am
He’s not going to agree to be a lame duck.Attyla » Tue Jan 09, 2024 8:58 am
no head coach is going to sign a one year prove it deal. And no owner is going to show a lack of endorsement of their new head coach by offering such a deal.RaiderandBulldog » Tue Jan 09, 2024 8:59 am
I’d give him 2 years,Archaic » Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:01 am
If he has confidence in his coaching ability AP will take the deal and earn himself a future multi year fat $ contract.Be_Easy_25 wrote Tue Jan 09, 2024 8:55 am:He’s not going to agree to be a lame duck.

O.K. 2-years, which is better than the 4-year deals given to Del Rio and McDaniels (that the Raiders had to eat).RaiderandBulldog wrote Tue Jan 09, 2024 8:59 am:I’d give him 2 years,
It's an opportunity for him to prove himself as a head coach.Be_Easy_25 wrote Tue Jan 09, 2024 8:55 am:He’s not going to agree to be a lame duck.

Even a two-year deal would be unlikely. The only new HC I've heard of with that short of a deal was Kiffin, who got a two-year deal with one or two team option years afterwards.Attyla » Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:13 am
the year we are in does not matter. Head coaches do not sign one year prove it deals. Owners do not offer one year prove it deals. You sign a head coach to a minimum 3 year deal so they can develop their roster and direction.Ivanavich wrote Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:06 am:It's 2024.
Pierce would sign a 1 year deal with an option of at least 3 more years that was basically automatic unless Davis was upset. He was an interim HC. A new HC wouldn't do it, but an interim HC with no prior HC'ing experience would.
And, the Raiders franchise is in a position that it has to 'beg' highly qualified candidates. The names that will be interviewed won't 'wow' anybody.
In the NFL, if you are offered a chance to be a HC with no prior experience, then you'll sign your one contract offer or forever not be offered another HC'ing job again.
Pierce is a former LB. LBs have a history of busting badly as NFL HCs.
I am in favor of a 1 year +++ contract. It's Mark's money, so his contract cost doesn't mean anything to the fans, players or owners.

Mark's plate is full of continuing to pay million to ex coaches. He absolutely should have doubts about the next head coach he hires.Sir Raider Duck, OMS wrote Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:09 am: It screams "I'm already having doubts this will work out, so I'm hedging my bets."

I would feel a lot better about a three year deal if I was confident that AP could convince high quality offensive minds to join up with him. And that he could convince the defensive staff to play along, long term.Attyla wrote Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:13 am:the year we are in does not matter. Head coaches do not sign one year prove it deals.

Hungry coaches and hungry players will be good for the Raiders.DanKD wrote Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:18 am:This never happens and for good reason. No assistant coaches will sign on under a lame duck coach. Players wont want to sign as free agents either.
