It didn’t take long for Antonio Pierce, who is now the official full-time head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, to emulate legendary coaches like Mike Shanahan and Bill Belichick by adding a few somewhat contentious but standard members to his staff.

This past season, Antonio Pierce found himself in a challenging role after being selected as the head coach to clean up Josh McDaniels’ mess after serving as the Raiders linebackers coach. The 45-year-old persisted and wowed even though it felt like the cards were stacked against him.

The team finished 5-4 and scored some big wins late in the season against division rivals. The strong finish, along with the deep admiration the locker room and fanbase developed for him, helped Pierce go from interim to full-time head coach in January.

Now that he has full autonomy and is filling out his staff the way he wants, the Las Vegas head coach has already jumped head-first into a controversial staff-building tradition. On Wednesday, Las Vegas Review-Journal Raiders reporter Vincent Bonsignore reported that Pierce is hiring his son, DeAndre Pierce, as one of his new assistant offensive coaches.

“DeAndre Pierce comes to the Raiders from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he spent the 2023 season as a defensive coach. He played under his father in high school at Long Beach Poly and Arizona State when his father was the Sun Devils’ defensive coordinator from 2020 to 2022. He played defensive back at Arizona State,” Bonsignore wrote.

The younger Pierce will be going from undrafted football player to assistant coach for the Las Vegas Raiders in just two years. It really is nice to have people — and parents — in high positions. This adds to the long list of nepo babies in NFL history.

The term “nepo baby” refers to kids who have profited from nepotism in businesses or organizations by obtaining significant roles and occupations.

Legendary head coaches Mike Shanahan, Pete Carroll, and Bill Belichick are three of the 79 father-son coaching tandems in league history.
