Former Raiders head coach addresses Tom Brady conflict of interest issue

“I think I would be uncomfortable if it was the other way around, to be honest with you,” Pierce said during a recent appearance on SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. “Because you’re not dealing with just a normal person. Tom Brady is the elite of the elite, one of the greatest quarterbacks, one of the greatest players in the game…student of the game. It’s not hard for him to watch a few things on a Friday practice or hear things in a production meeting and be like, ‘Hmm,’ and have tidbits. And you’d be foolish enough to think that he’s not gonna share that with the Raiders because we had those conversations about certain things.”

“I think everybody’s gonna give you the political answer and say, ‘Oh, it’s no big deal,'” Pierce said. “I’m calling BS on that because if me and you was to call the game, they’ll be secretive with us. Now you got a guy who’s a minority owner, a great player, you know he understands the game, you know he sees the game. He has obviously an interest in the Raiders. So I just think it’s unprecedented. We haven’t seen it.”
