The Las Vegas Raiders brought back Antonio Pierce to be the head coach of the 2024 season and beyond, and now he is bringing other former players onto the staff as well. Or, so that's how it would appear.
Pierce recently tweeted something that has fans confused and asking questions.
This week, Pierce tweeted out a picture of him and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, the legendary Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver. Johnson also tweeted the photo and captioned it that he was now a part of the Raiders coaching staff. Ocho is a big jokester, so, at first, many thought this was a joke.
Then Pierce tweeted out that he hired him to help coach the guys and "17," referring to Davante Adams. Now, this could be a real thing, as the two have tweeted several things out since, but this could also be Antonio Pierce on Twitter trolling.
Having Johnson on the staff would be great, though, especially for guys like Tre Tucker, who is a young wide receiver with a ton of potential. But until the team announces it or someone official, we have to assume this is a joke, right?
