Pete Carroll is back as an NFL head coach, according to a report.

That’s per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who says that Carroll has agreed to a 3-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders to become their next head coach. The deal also includes a team-option in Year 4, according to Schefter.

Carroll took 2024 off from coaching but spent the previous 14 seasons as the Seattle Seahawks head coach. His time in Seattle was highlighted by a Super Bowl title at the end of the 2013 season. He went 137-89-1 during his tenure in Seattle.

His coaching career, of course, also included a legendary run at USC with the Trojans. His 9-year stint at Southern Cal included 7 conference titles and 2 claimed national championships.

He now joins a Raiders organization that is in need of a reset. Las Vegas went just 4-13 in 2024 and hasn’t made the postseason since 2021. The franchise has just 2 postseason appearances in the last 2 decades.

Carroll, by contrast, made the playoffs in over half of his seasons with the Seahawks. Seattle made the playoffs in 9 of its final 12 seasons with Carroll at the helm.
