One of the Denver Broncos‘ division rivals are among the six NFL teams hiring a new head coach this offseason.
The Las Vegas Raiders are seeking a new coach after parting ways with Antonio Pierce following the 2024 season. One of the latest candidates to interview for the Raiders’ opening was Pete Carroll, according to ESPN.
Carroll, 73, coached the Seattle Seahawks from 2010-2023, going 137-89-1 in Seattle. He reached two Super Bowls with the Seahawks, including a convincing 43-8 victory over the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
If the Raiders end up hiring Carroll, he will join an AFC West that already includes Andy Reid (Kansas City Chiefs), Sean Payton (Denver) and
Jim Harbaugh (Los Angeles Chargers). Reid, Payton and Carroll have all won Super Bowls and Harbaugh reached Super Bowl XLVII with the San Francisco 49ers earlier in his career.
In addition to the Raiders, the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets are also seeking coaches. The New England Patriots already filled their opening by hiring Mike Vrabel.
Las Vegas had an initial list of at least nine candidates, including Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. It remains to be seen which candidate will emerge as the favorite for the Raiders job.
