The Las Vegas Raiders are undergoing a crucial offseason as they look to establish a lasting culture in Las Vegas for the first time since relocating from Oakland. On Tuesday the Raiders relieved head coach Antonio Pierce of his duties after just one full season at the helm.
The Raiders are set to get started on the search for the next man in charge, but one surprising name is going to have a lot of say in who assumes the position. Tom Brady recently joined the Raiders’ ownership group, and he’s set to have a powerful voice in the massive decision on the horizon, according to one prominent league insider.
“Raiders limited owner Tom Brady is expected to be part of a collaborative committee to interview head coaching candidates and support team owner Mark Davis, per league sources,” reported ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“so he helped fire pierce because pierce was part of the giants team that beat him in the SB,” one fan speculated on Twitter.
“So…..When is going to give up the broadcasting gig. It doesn’t seem like it should be ok for him to do that while being involved in ownership of an NFL team,” one fan added.
“This guy is really still trying to come after Patrick Mahomes, even as he praises him in all is TV analysis. Some psychopathic behavior!” added another fan.
It’ll be interesting to see who Brady has his sights set on.
