The 73-year-old Carroll clearly took the Raiders head coaching job because of the "one-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to work with the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Pete Carroll knows a little about turning floundering Southern California and the Seattle Seahawks into championship teams. Now he's trying to do the same thing in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Raiders, as they head into their sixth NFL season in the team’s new home after 16 years in Oakland, finally appear ready to start a new era. And that new era will need to start with a new quarterback.
Pete Carroll and the Raiders have reached an agreement on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option to be the team's new head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Raiders owner expects that Carroll and Spytek will be the right fits for their jobs — and will be with the team for the duration.
Once on opposing sides in a Super Bowl, coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek have now joined forces with the Raiders.
The Las Vegas Raiders have reportedly agreed to a deal that would make Pete Carroll their next head coach. Carroll will turn 74 at the beginning of the football season.
Graham interviewed with the Jaguars for their head coach and DC vacancies as well as the Bengals for their DC opening
Patrick Graham will stay on as the Raiders' defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. He has been with the franchise since 2022, and he recently interviewed for the Jaguars head coaching job.
Patrick Graham is returning to the Las Vegas Raiders as defensive coordinator, teaming up with newly hired head coach Pete Carroll. Graham became the Raiders' DC before the 2022 season. He initially worked under Josh McDaniels, then stayed on with Antonio Pierce, who was fired after the Raiders finished 4–13 last season.
The Raiders now know who will join Pete Carroll as his defensive coordinator. And it's a familiar face coming to Las Vegas.
