Asked what they’re looking for in an offensive coordinator … Pierce: “24 points minimum (laughed).” He wants a teacher that players can believe in who ‘s creative & will take shots downfield.” Telesco said “Raiders have an identity - & that’s speed” & that will be featured.
Pierce adds what he wants to see from the #Raiders offense in regards to the future offensive coordinator. He mentions the Raiders are known for the vertical passing game & he wants to see shots down the field & explosive plays.
What are Telesco & Pierce looking for in an OC “A minimum of 24 points,” says Pierce. #Raiders
