The Las Vegas Raiders are naming Pete Carroll as their next head coach, multiple media outlets reported Friday.
Per ESPN, Carroll agreed to a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option. NFL Network reported that other potential candidates have been informed by the Raiders that Carroll is the team’s new head coach.
By joining the AFC West, Carroll will resume a long rivalry with Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. The latter previously coached the San Francisco 49ers while Carroll was manning the sideline with the Seattle Seahawks.
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 in 2024 after he and team officials agreed the time was right for a coaching change following the 2023 campaign.
Pete 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.
