One of the biggest stories this offseason already has been the return of former Seattle Seahawks head coach to the NFL, Pete Carroll. Last week, Carroll was announced as the next head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders. The 73-year-old had been out of football for a year but now he is back and ready for perhaps his greatest challenge yet.

The glory years for the Raiders ended more than two decades ago. The tradition-rich franchise once known for its swagger as much as its championship pedigree has become a reclamation project.

Raiders majority owner Mark Davis introduced Carroll as the 24th coach in his franchise’s history, and its fifth since it moved to Las Vegas in 2020, Monday morning at the team’s Henderson headquarters.
