The Raiders owner expects that Carroll and Spytek will be the right fits for their jobs — and will be with the team for the duration.

The Las Vegas Raiders, as they head into their sixth NFL season in the team’s new home after 16 years in Oakland, finally appear ready to start a new era. And that new era will need to start with a new quarterback.

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to hire Pete Carroll, who spent 14 seasons leading the Seattle Seahawks, as their new head coach. Carroll, who was a Seahawks adviser this season, has a career record of 170-120-1.

Pete Carroll knows a little about turning floundering Southern California and the Seattle Seahawks into championship teams. Now he's trying to do the same thing in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced Saturday that Pete Carroll is their new coach. HENDERSON, Nev. — Pete Carroll was announced Saturday as Las Vegas' new coach, with the Raiders hoping that even as the oldest head coach in the NFL the 73-year-old will provide stability for an organization badly lacking it.

The Raiders now know who will join Pete Carroll as his defensive coordinator. And it's a familiar face coming to Las Vegas.

The Raiders are bringing back their defensive coordinator next season even after hiring new coach Pete Carroll.

The Las Vegas Raiders are bringing back Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator, according to a league source.

Patrick Graham is re-signing with the Raiders to return for his fourth season as the club's defensive coordinator, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday.
