Falcons to interview Antonio Pierce Friday
Our Summary
Former Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce is set to interview for the Atlanta Falcons' head coaching position. Pierce, who joined CBS Sports after being dismissed by the Raiders following the 2024 season, initially took over as interim head coach in 2023 after the firing of Josh McDaniels. He secured the permanent role after achieving a 5-4 record but was let go after a disappointing 4-win performance in 2024. Pierce also interviewed for the New York Giants' head coaching job, a team he previously helped to win a Super Bowl as a player, but the Giants are expected to hire John Harbaugh.
