Legendary NFL, college football head coach gets fired

Legendary NFL, college football head coach gets fired

Our Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders have dismissed Pete Carroll as head coach after just one season. The decision follows a disappointing 3-14 season, which tied the Raiders for the worst record in the NFL. Raiders owner Mark Davis expressed gratitude to Carroll and his family in a statement and announced that General Manager John Spytek, alongside Tom Brady, will manage football operations and the search for a new head coach. Carroll, who has previously coached the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and Seattle Seahawks, won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks and led the USC football program to two national championships. Carroll was appointed by the Raiders for the 2025 season after leaving the Seahawks in 2023, compiling a 173-134-1 career record in the NFL.
