Antonio Pierce is now officially the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders!

With the early success of Pierce and Demeco Ryans, it would be interesting to see a new trend shake out:

A) Former players that gain the respect of the locker room

B) Dweebs that are brilliant offensive minds but no accolades from playing the game at a high level

Mike McDaniel comes to mind in the second category. I feel like it could include a lot more that never played above a JuCo/Div3 level.

Also it's nice to see coaches of color in the game when it doesn't seem forced by the Rooney rule. Gotta love unforced diversity.
