The Las Vegas Raiders have hired Pete Carroll as their new head coach on a three-year deal with an option for a fourth year. This marks a return for Carroll, who has a storied coaching career, including leading the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory. Carroll replaces Antonio Pierce, who was fired after the team’s disappointing 4-13 finish this season. With the Raiders holding the sixth overall pick in the draft and significant salary cap space, Carroll faces the challenge of rebuilding the team in a highly competitive AFC West division.
