Our Hondo S. Carpenter Sr. discussed head coach Antonio Pierce going into training camp on a recent episode of the "Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast."
"What does he [Antonio Pierce] do, he goes out and then he puts somebody in charge of red flags...Now he gets a guy the sole job is game management. He gets a lot to see, so let me put somebody in my ear to help me with game management. That is brilliant," said Carpenter Sr.
"Then goes out and look how he built his staff. He built it with a group of guys who are extremely personable. He wanted people that where open, wanted, and needed relationship... AP surrounds himself with people that generally care about him and who are not afraid to close the door and say what are you doing. That is a mistake. That is maturity. That is why he has been so successful," said Carpenter Sr.
"I want to see how he continues to grow... By the time he got to the last two or three games of the season, and throughout the whole off season, different guy. He takes copious notes. He spends a lot of time at every spot. He is learning how to be a CEO... I remember him watching quarterbacks and just him, not trying to run the drill... When he does add something, it is reaffirming what the coaches said... I was more surprised with the development of AP than anything this off season," said Carpenter Sr.
