New Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll and GM John Spytek are embracing their opportunities with one of the NFL's more downtrodden franchises.

The Las Vegas Raiders were 15th in the league in fewest passing yards allowed and produced 18 sacks in their last six games of the season.

Pete Carroll, 73, will return to the sideline with the Las Vegas Raiders after leading the Seattle Seahawks to two NFC titles and the franchise’s only Super Bowl win during a 14-year stretch.

The Raiders’ new coach and general manager have prioritized defensive linemen over the years, so the team is keeping a close eye on some Senior Bowl prospects.

It's a gamble in a city that knows something about that subject on someone who will turn 74 in September, but younger coaches have come up short since the Raiders moved to Las Vegas in 2020.

The 73-year-old former Patriots and Seahawks coach is returning to the NFL after just one season off the sidelines.

Tom Brady, a Raiders minority owner, and the Patriots defeated Carroll's Seahawks in the unforgettable Super Bowl XLIX, which culminated with Malcolm Butler's goal-line interception.
