The former head coach of the Seahawks has plenty of his former players still employed in the NFL. A reunion with a veteran defender would make sense.

The Seattle Seahawks take to social media to congratulate former coach Pete Carroll on his return to the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Barely a day has passed since Pete Carroll was introduced as the Raiders new head coach. And he is wasting no time putting his staff together. The first interview was held on Tuesday and it’s someone Carroll knows extremely well — Darrell Bevell.

Pete Carroll is back in the NFL as a head coach just one year after getting fired by the Seattle Seahawks. He has joined Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders, who have their work cut out for them competing in a loaded AFC West division.

Carroll's energy is known and obvious, but he cranked it up a notch while taking on the challenge of coaching the Las Vegas Raiders.

At 73 years old, Pete Carroll surprised some by pursuing another head coaching opportunity this offseason. However, his proven track record and leadership make him a logical choice for the Las Vegas Raiders, who sought stability after Antonio Pierce’s tenure.

The Raiders are hiring University of Washington offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll to be their offensive line coach and run game coordinator, as first reported by Yogi Roth of the Big Ten Network and confirmed by ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg.
