Pierce, 46, went 9-17 over 1 1/2 seasons as coach. He first became the head coach on an interim basis after the midseason firing of Josh McDaniels in 2023.
Carroll, 73, won a Super Bowl during his 14-year tenure with Seattle and has the most wins of any Seahawks coach (137). He also set the record for most playoff appearances (10) and wins (10) in franchise history. Carroll served as an adviser this season after stepping down following the 2023 campaign.
Carroll also guided the New York Jets (1994) and New England Patriots (1997-99) and has a 170-120-1 record as an NFL head coach.
He excelled in the college ranks, winning two national championships at Southern California during his nine-year tenure and finishing with a 97-19 record. Carroll is one of only three coaches to win both a Super Bowl and a college national championship.

More on the Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders fired general manager Tom Telesco on Thursday, two days after dismissing head coach Antonio Pierce following a 4-13 season.
“We appreciate his efforts in helping build a foundation for the future,” the team said in a statement. “We wish Tom and his family all the best.”
Telesco, 52, was hired in January 2024. He served as the Chargers’ general manager from 2013 until he was fired along with Los Angeles head coach Brandon Staley following a 63-21 loss to host Las Vegas in December 2023.
The Chargers went 84-95 in the regular season and 2-3 in the playoffs while Telesco was the team’s general manager.
Pierce, 46, went 9-17 over 1 1/2 seasons as the team’s coach. He became the coach on an interim basis after the midseason firing of Josh McDaniels in 2023.
The Raiders had a 10-game losing streak during the gloomy 2024 season. Las Vegas lost six games by double digits during the streak and nine overall.
