Only coaches with previous rings and almost universally accepted clout are given final say over personnel.

How do you know Antonio Pierce wanted to get away?

Williams is the coach who helped catapult his career and they had a great working relationship.

Pierce not staying was attributed primarily to the front office's undervaluation of him.
