Raiders say goodbye to Pete Carroll


The Pete Carroll experiment in Las Vegas is over after one season.

The Raiders fired the 74-year-old head coach Monday after a disappointing 3-14 campaign, the team announced.

General manager John Spytek will lead all football operations, including the head coaching search, in collaboration with minority owner Tom Brady.

Carroll arrived to lead a veteran Raiders roster that included new quarterback Geno Smith. However, the season went into a tailspin, and Las Vegas now appears poised for a full rebuild after securing the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. It's the first time since 2007 that the Raiders will pick first in the draft.
