Head coach Antonio Pierce and the Las Vegas Raiders are currently in the midst of what figures to be a highly important offseason as it pertains to the future direction of the franchise. Pierce was named the team’s full time head coach earlier this offseason after taking over for the team midway through this past season, and the Raiders project to be one of the most interesting teams to keep an eye on throughout the 2023-24 season, which will get underway in September.
Naturally, one of the most important decisions a head coach must make early on is how to assemble the rest of their staff, and it seems like Pierce and the Raiders brass have made progress on at least one front going forward.
“Sources say Rich Scangarello is the front-runner to coach the quarterbacks for the Raiders.” This week, he was in the building, and a deal might be made. On X, the social media site that was once known as Twitter, NFL senior reporter Jeremy Fowler stated, “Scangarello has OC experience at the NFL and collegiate levels, lastly with Kentucky.”
In fact, Rich Scangarello has worked on the sidelines for several NFL teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, and Oakland Raiders. Most recently, he was the offensive coordinator for the Kentucky Wildcats. The Raiders will also need to decide how to use their picks in the forthcoming 2024 NFL Draft, which takes occur at the end of April. This is a significant decision.
