“Antonio Pierce Suggests Magic Johnson Played Role in Convincing OC Kliff Kingsbury to Join Commanders”
Magic Johnson played a role in luring Kliff Kingsbury to become the Washington Commanders’ offensive coordinator after he reportedly agreed to the same role with the Las Vegas Raiders. Antonio Pierce, head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, mentioned Johnson’s involvement in a podcast and expressed disappointment over losing Kingsbury. Johnson’s involvement comes after reports of heavy ownership involvement in the Commanders’ coaching search. Kingsbury’s decision to join Washington also fueled speculation about targeting Caleb Williams in the 2024 NFL Draft. After Kingsbury backed out, the Raiders hired Luke Getsy, and they may be in the market for a quarterback. Due to their late-season surge, they are not picking until the 13th selection in the upcoming draft.
