The AFC West underwent a dramatic shakeup on Friday with the arrival of Pete Carroll as Las Vegas Raiders head coach – rekindling his longstanding rivalry with Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh in the process.

An old clip of supposed tension between Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh resurfaces after the Raiders hire Carroll as their next head coach.

Now that Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are in the same division again, get ready for more amazing battles between two coaches who have always made each other better.

Carroll, 73, is set to return to the NFL sideline as a head coach for the first time since the conclusion of the 2023 regular season.

The AFC West may have gotten a whole lot tougher with the recent coaching move the Las Vegas Raiders made. Where will that put Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh on the totem pole?

The Raiders' new head coach has found success over the years against these other in-division coaches, with a career total 10 wins against Reid, Payton and Harbaugh. This includes an NFC Championship victory over Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers in the 2013 season.

Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh have waged war against each other for years, in college at USC and Stanford and in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, and Carroll landing the Las Vegas Raiders job reunites them once again.

Pete Carroll and the Raiders have reached an agreement on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option to be the team's new head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

A young, untested NFL head coach would find it pretty daunting to join a division that includes Andy Reid, Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh.

Ben Johnson was seen as the Raiders’ top head coaching target, and a major offer was expected. However, the quarterback position is different in Vegas than in Chicago. The former Lions OC ultimately chose to take the Bears’ gig, taking the most in-demand coaching candidate off the market and forcing the Raiders to pivot.
