Carroll interviewed Miami Dolphins quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Darrell Bevell for his OC vacancy. Tom Pelissero was first on the report. Bevell served as Carroll’s OC and offensive play-caller for seven seasons (2011-2017) in Seattle, winning a Super Bowl together in 2013.

With the glaring need at quarterback in Las Vegas, the immediate dot-connecting when the Raiders hired Pete Carroll suggested his former Seahawks signal-caller Russell Wilson could follow.

Since Russell Wilson has ended the 2024 season with the Steelers he has been in the debates for the potential trade. The post Russell Wilson’s Raiders Move Gains Momentum as Pete Carroll Eyes Seahawks Reunion With Interview Decision appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The Las Vegas Raiders were heavily linked to Ben Johnson as their next head coach but how true were those rumors?

The Raiders haven't won a postseason game since January 2003 and last made a playoff appearance in January 2022.

Once on opposing sides in a Super Bowl, coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek have joined forces with the Raiders.

The Raiders were among the front-runners to land Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, but had to pivot when Johnson took over in Chicago. Here's a look at how the NFL world reacted to that pivot, and the hiring of Carroll:

Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to hire 73-year-old Pete Carroll as their head coach. The Raiders made the decision not long after the hottest name on the job market, Ben Johnson, left the Detroit Lions to take the Chicago Bears head coaching gig.

The Detroit Lions have found their Ben Johnson replacement in new offensive coordinator John Morton, a coach with an impressive resume and long-standing ties to Dan Campbell but plenty of questions to answer as a play-caller.

The Raiders owner expects that Carroll and Spytek will be the right fits for their jobs — and will be with the team for the duration.

LAS VEGAS — It appears longtime Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll will finally be returning to an NFL sideline. Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a three-year contract to become the organization's next head coach, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported citing league sources.
