Sources – Pete Carroll agrees to 3-year deal to coach Raiders
Pete Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders have reached an agreement on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option to be the team’s new head coach, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Carroll, 73, is one of four head coaches to have led teams to both a national championship and the Super Bowl. The others are Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson and Jim Harbaugh.
Carroll helped shape USC into a national champion and then went to Seattle and, over a run that lasted 14 seasons, led the Seahawks to 10 playoff appearances, two conference championships and the franchise’s only Super Bowl win.
The Raiders fired Antonio Pierce after his first full season as head coach on Jan. 7 after the team went 4-13.
