Carroll, 73, is set to return to the NFL sideline as a head coach for the first time since the conclusion of the 2023 regular season.

The 73-year-old former Seahawks coach is reportedly the front-runner for the Raiders job. Would he be a good fit in Las Vegas?

The Raiders' hiring of Pete Carroll creates a decorated group of head coaches in the AFC West, full of Super Bowl and National Championship winners.

Carroll is easily the NFL's oldest active head coach, leading Reid by nearly seven years. His hiring means four of the NFL's six oldest coaches are all in the AFC West, as Reid (66), Harbaugh (61) and Payton (61) are all among the league's most experienced leaders.

The Las Vegas Raiders have informed other head-coaching candidates that Pete Carroll is set to become their next head coach, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Friday, per sources.

The glory years for the Raiders ended more than two decades ago. The tradition-rich franchise once known for its swagger as much as its championship pedigree has become a reclamation project.

Carroll enters his 31st season in the NFL, most recently spending 14 seasons as the Executive V.P. and Head Coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

Pete Carroll knows how to create winners, and his arrival in Las Vegas signals a major shift for a Raiders franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in 22 years.
