Antonio Pierce Biography
Antonio Pierce is a former NFL linebacker and football coach whose career reflects a progression from undrafted free agent to Super Bowl champion and NFL head coach. Pierce entered the league after going undrafted, joining the Washington Redskins as a free agent. He made an impact with 114 tackles and two interceptions in a breakout season. Pierce later signed with the New York Giants, where he became captain of the defense and played a key role in the Giants' Super Bowl XLII victory over the New England Patriots. He also earned a Pro Bowl selection during his tenure with the Giants.
With the Giants, Pierce led the team in tackles three times, served as a three-year captain, and contributed to a squad that did not have a losing season during his five years. Over his NFL career, Pierce recorded 687 tackles, nine sacks, and seven interceptions before retiring. After his playing career, he transitioned to media, joining ESPN as an analyst, and later moved into coaching.
Pierce began his coaching career at the high school level, serving as head coach at Long Beach Poly, and then advanced to Arizona State University, where he held roles as linebackers coach, associate head coach, and defensive coordinator. He joined the Las Vegas Raiders as a linebackers coach before being named interim head coach.
As interim head coach, Pierce guided the Raiders to a second-place finish in the AFC West. Under his leadership, the team finished with the fewest penalties in the NFL, tied for fifth in turnover margin, and allowed a league-low 16.0 points per game. Pierce was officially named head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after serving as interim head coach for nine games.
Pierce completed one season as the Raiders' full-time head coach before departing from the organization. Following his coaching tenure, he joined CBS Sports' NFL Today crew to provide analysis and coverage of the league. Pierce's experience as a player, coach, and analyst positions him as a knowledgeable figure in professional football, with expertise in defensive strategy, leadership, and NFL media coverage.
