On Friday, the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms with Pete Carroll, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. He will be the team's sixth full-time head coach since owner Mark Davis took over for his late father, Al, as controlling owner.
At 73, Carroll will be the oldest head coaching hire in NFL history, topping Bruce Arians, who took over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' lead coaching job at 66 years old in 2019. He will also be the oldest active head coach in the league's history.
Considering Carroll's age, the Raiders sensibly added a fourth-year team option to the agreement, which allows them to pivot after a short-term runway under their new lead skipper.
