Pete Carroll Assembles Familiar Faces in Las Vegas: Can Seahawks Magic Translate to the Raiders?
las Vegas, NV – After a tumultuous four-year period that saw four diffrent head coaches pace the sidelines, the Las Vegas Raiders are banking on stability and a proven track record with the hiring of Pete Carroll. The veteran coach,fresh off a 14-year tenure with the Seattle Seahawks,arrives in the AFC West with a clear mission: to revitalize a franchise that hasn’t consistently reached its potential.
The Raiders’ recent history has been marked by upheaval. From the controversial departure of Jon Gruden to the interim leadership of Rich Bisaccia, and the ultimately unsuccessful tenures of Josh McDaniels and Antonio Pierce, the team has been searching for an identity. Last season’s disappointing 4-13 record underscored the need for a significant overhaul – and ownership delivered.
This offseason, the Raiders brought in John Spytek as thier new General Manager, a seasoned executive from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Spytek, in turn, made the bold move to bring in Carroll, a Super Bowl-winning coach known for building a strong culture and maximizing player potential.
carroll has already begun to imprint his vision on the Raiders, retaining defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and making a splash with the hiring of offensive guru chip Kelly. But perhaps the most telling sign of Carroll’s approach is the influx of former Seahawks players now donning silver and black.

Among those joining Carroll in Las Vegas is safety Julian Love,acquired via trade with Seattle in exchange for a third-round pick. Love flourished under Carroll’s leadership, earning back-to-back Pro Bowl selections in his two seasons with the Seahawks. The hope is that he can replicate that success with the raiders, becoming a cornerstone of the defense.

“I’m excited to play for Coach Carroll,” said Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty in a recent interview. “I’ve heard about the magic he had with Marshawn Lynch in Seattle, and I’m hoping we can create something special here.”
The challenge facing Carroll is significant. The Raiders haven’t reached double-digit wins in a season since 2016. However, Carroll’s track record speaks for itself. He’s known for fostering a competitive environment, developing young talent, and building a physical, relentless style of play.
Whether he can translate the success he enjoyed in Seattle to the desert landscape of Las vegas remains to be seen. But with a familiar staff and a growing roster of former Seahawks, Pete Carroll is laying the foundation for a new era of Raiders football.
