Pete Carroll Poised to Lead Las Vegas Raiders as New Head Coach
Pete Carroll, the former head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, has emerged as a leading candidate for the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching position. According to multiple reports, Carroll has agreed to a three-year contract with the Raiders, with a fourth-year option, marking his return to the NFL after stepping down from the Seahawks following the 2023 season. Carroll, 73, brings a wealth of experience, including a Super Bowl victory with the Seahawks in 2013 and a college football national championship with USC in 2004.
The Raiders, who recently hired John Spytek as their new general manager, are looking to rebuild after a disappointing 4-13 season. Carroll’s hiring is seen as a move to bring stability and a winning culture to the franchise. His defensive mindset and experience with rebuilding teams, such as his successful tenure with the Seahawks starting in 2009, make him a strong fit for the Raiders’ current needs.
Meanwhile, Carroll was also reportedly in discussions with the Dallas Cowboys about their head coaching vacancy. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had informal talks with Carroll, but no formal interview was scheduled. The Cowboys are reportedly considering promoting offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who previously worked under Carroll in Seattle, to the head coaching role.
Carroll’s potential move to the Raiders comes after he was passed over for other coaching opportunities last year. His hiring would make him the oldest active head coach in the NFL, but his energy and track record of success suggest he is more than capable of leading the Raiders through their rebuilding phase. The Raiders have made only two playoff appearances since 2003 and have not won a playoff game since 2002, making Carroll’s experience and leadership a valuable asset as they aim to turn the franchise around.
