HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders and Pete Carroll have reached an agreement for the veteran coach to become the franchise's head coach on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Carroll, who turns 74 on Sept. 15, is one of three head coaches to have led a team to both a national championship in college (USC) and a Super Bowl title (Seattle Seahawks). Barry Switzer (Oklahoma and the Dallas Cowboys) and Jimmy Johnson (Miami and the Cowboys) are the others.
Carroll will also be the Raiders' fifth coach, including interims, since the franchise moved to Las Vegas from Oakland in 2020, following Jon Gruden, Rich Bisaccia, Josh McDaniels and Antonio Pierce and the team's ninth coach, including interims, since Raiders owner Mark Davis took over upon the passing of his father Al Davis in 2011 -- Hue Jackson, Dennis Allen, Tony Sparano, Jack Del Rio, Gruden, Bisaccia, McDaniels and Pierce.
