Pete Carroll is one and done in Las Vegas. The Raiders have fired Carroll following a 3-14 first season with the team, owner Mark Davis announced on Monday. The decision comes at the end of a campaign that unraveled in a hurry for the Silver and Black, as the Raiders watched a season brimming with optimism following a Week 1 win over the Patriots fall into disarray thanks to 14 defeats over their final 16 contests.

quote:

Davis on Monday also indicated that minority owner Tom Brady will take on a larger role within the franchise and will be a key voice in their search for Carroll's replacement.

quote:

"We appreciate and wish (Carroll) and his family the best," Davis said in a statement. "Moving forward, general manager John Spytek will lead all football operations in close collaboration with Tom Brady, including the search for the club's next head coach. Together, they will guide football decisions with a shared focus on leadership, culture, and alignment with the organization's long-term vision and goals."

While sad to hear that Pete lost his job, however, it will now give him more time to look into the "truth" on what happened on September 11th.

The Raiders are now seeking their 5th head coach since 2021 (6th if you count Rich Bissacia). What an absolute dumpster fire of a franchise.

At least short times in Las Vegas will make it harder for the HCs to nurture massive losses at the casinos.

The Raiders built a rugged playoff roster under Gruden only to have the NFL take it away in a mob style political hit that they’ll soon pay for, both in courts of law and public opinion.

It's safe to say Pete Carroll has coached his last game in the NFL

Why would any quality candidate want to coach that dumpster fire?

Before the seasons started, I would have bet the house Belichek would be fired before Carroll.

Raiders are a mess and not even the GOAT can help them.

They should have given him the full time job after he got them to the playoffs as an interim.

So, did Brady hire Carroll? Or did Mark Davis go that?

Also, rumors that Brady wants Dabol as OC and Flores as HC. That would be a fricking epic disaster, but it's the Raiders, so maybe it would just be a Tuesday.

From 1969-1987 the Raiders had 2 Head Coaches, 3 Lombardi Trophies and the highest win % in ALL of sports...

Since then, there's been 2 or 3 Coaches you'd want...

Mike Shannahan (fired by Davis, leaves for Denver and wins 2 Super Bowls)
Art Shell
Mike White
Joe Bugal
Jon Gruden
Bill Callahan
Norv Turner
Art Shell (again)
Lane Kiffin
Tom Cable
Hue Jackson
Dennis Allen
Jack Del Rio
Josh McDaniels
Antonio Pierce
Pete Carroll

Its only slightly better than the Browns list of QBs during that time span.

How funny would it be if 2 of the GOATs(Jordan/Brady) really sucked at running an organization.

Its crazy that the NFL is ok with Brady owning part of the Raiders and being a commentator also. Just shows you that the NFL is all a farce!
