"Carroll expressed high hopes upon taking over, saying he was used to double-digit victories and he expected the same in Las Vegas. But the Raiders went 3-14, going on a 10-game losing streak before finishing with a 14-12 victory over Kansas City on Sunday. Now the question is where the Raiders head next under the direction of owner Mark Davis, minority owner Tom Brady and general manager John Spytek. Davis said in a statement that Spytek would work with Brady to find the next coach."
"The club could seek an offensive-minded coach to work with a young quarterback should the Raiders draft Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza or Dante Moore with the first overall pick. That formula worked well this season in Chicago with coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams and in Jacksonville with coach Liam Coen and QB Trevor Lawrence. Both teams are playoff bound after experiencing losing seasons the year before."
"Carroll, 74, was the NFL's oldest head coach, and he came to Las Vegas with the intent of winning right away. He got his wish of bringing in quarterback Geno Smith, whom he coached in Seattle. Neither got the success they expected, with Smith throwing a league-high 17 interceptions as the losses piled up. This wasn't what Carroll was used to as a coach. He coached the Seahawks to a Super Bowl title and Southern California to two national championships."
Pete Carroll was fired after one season following a 3-14 record that included a 10-game losing streak and a final 14-12 win over Kansas City. Owner Mark Davis said general manager John Spytek will work with minority owner Tom Brady to find the next coach, emphasizing leadership, culture, and alignment with long-term organizational goals. The club could pursue an offensive-minded coach to develop a young quarterback should it draft Fernando Mendoza or Dante Moore first overall. Similar quarterback-coach pairings helped Chicago and Jacksonville reach the playoffs. Carroll, 74, brought in Geno Smith, who threw a league-high 17 interceptions. Carroll previously won a Super Bowl with Seattle and two national championships at USC.
