Pete Carroll will turn 74 in September when he embarks on his first season as head coach of the Raiders.

New Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll had a special guest in attendance for his introductory press conference with the Raiders —his former running back, Marshawn Lynch. Lynch played under Carroll from 2010-15 before spending two seasons with the Raiders, his hometown team before they moved from Oakland to Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Raiders, a franchise that has been buried deep in the NFL basement for many years, took a step toward restoring their credibility when they hired Pete Carroll to be their head coach. Former NFL head coach and recent Ohio State assistant Chip Kelly will be Carroll’s offensive coordinator in Las Vegas.
