Following the 2023 season, defensive end Maxx Crosby was one of the most vocal supporters of Antonio Pierce to get the full-time Las Vegas Raiders head coaching job. He got his wish as the team promoted the coach but decided to go in a different direction this offseason and fired the coach.
Crosby has been outspoken about being sick of all the turnover in the franchise. He didn’t get into how he feels about the decision but he did send a message to Pierce following his dismissal.
“I believed in AP,” Crosby said on the Jan. 8 episode of “The Rush.” “This season didn’t go the way anybody expected it, to be honest. This business is not easy. … First and foremost, shoutout to AP. I wish him the best. … The real human element to it, it’s not easy. He just signed a deal and now he’s gotta completely change everything. Just wish them the best going forward.”
Crosby is now going to have his fifth head coach since joining the Raiders. It’s clear that he’s getting frustrated with the franchise but it remains to be seen if he’ll want out. It would certainly be a big blow to the team if they had to move on from him.
