Raiders fire Pete Carroll

Raiders fire Pete Carroll

Our Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired head coach Pete Carroll following a 3-14 season, marking the end of his tenure after a challenging year. Team owner Mark Davis announced the decision, expressing appreciation for Carroll's efforts. General Manager John Spytek, in collaboration with Tom Brady, will oversee football operations and lead the search for a new head coach. The Raiders began the season with a win against the Patriots but struggled with four consecutive losses and two 31-0 defeats, one against the Chiefs and another against the Eagles. Despite these setbacks, Carroll's final game resulted in a victory over Kansas City, aided by a 60-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson. The Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, as they look to rebuild under new leadership.
