A good ending! Well, as the regular season is about to end every NFL team wants to end things well. Even if a team had a horrible season the whole year, they want to win the last few games. And perhaps the Raiders are not so different. The team did not have a successful season, losing 12 games while standing tall in just 3. Ouch. And, even though the season did not go as planned, Tom Brady’s team HC, Antonio Pierce, is optimistic about the season-ending. Wait, why?

Well, for those who missed, the Raiders won their last game against the Jaguars in Week 16. While the game was not difficult for them, their next opponents are not going to be the same. The Saints and the Chargers are their roadblocks to finishing the season on a positive note. And during this tough challenge lying ahead, Anotonio Pierce seemed pretty confident. The HC recently appeared on the team’s YouTube page in a live session with a 9-word motivational message for the players. The man said, “Finish, improvement, progress, and end on a high note.”

This new mindset can help the team as there are a few factors working against them in their next game. For instance, the week 16 game was on their turf but for week 17 the team’s bus is in Saints. By the way, New Orleans is also hosting this year’s Super Bowl on February 9th, 2025, in the Superdome.

Because of this, the fans will be supercharged and work like the 12th player in favor of the Saints. New Orleans also had a disappointing season and will be hoping to end on a positive note. While it is indeed a big roadblock for the Raiders, Antonio Pierce’s confidence shows that the team is prepared for this matchup.

But is it too late for Antonio Pierce to do something good for the team? Well, there have been rumors about his job hanging on a thread all over the place. And on top of that Tom Brady is also involved in this rumor.

Can Tom Brady fire Antonio Pierce and hire a new head coach next season?

When Tom Brady bought a minority investment in the Raiders earlier this year, everyone knew things would shift drastically. It was evident that Brady would be involved in major decisions that may impact the team’s dynamic. But Brady did not rush in these things and took some time. He kept an eye on the team’s performance this year to make big changes in 2025. And this thing is confirmed by NFL insiders too. But what type of decision is Brady making?

For those who missed it, Dianna Russini discussed Brady’s involvement on her YouTube channel. She explained how the Raiders will seek a new quarterback in 2025. The team may do that with a draft or through free agency. But whatever will be the case, a new quarterback is definitely on the way. And who better to choose the new quarterback than the greatest of all time? But things don’t end here.

Russini also mentioned that Antonio Pierce may soon be replaced by a new head coach that the team is looking for. She has heard so, and while it may seem unusual, Brady will also consult on the same with the board of directors. The former QB has a significant impact, and perhaps he can bring in a former Patriots teammate as the new HC.

While the HC has a lot of influence on the boards and people will vouch for him, Brady’s involvement is far superior. If this happens then this plainly indicates that Antonio Pierce will most likely leave the squad after this season.
