The Las Vegas Raiders are negotiating a deal to hire Pete Carroll to be their new head coach, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.

The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Pete Carroll to be the team’s head coach, according to reports. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero first reported the news. CNN has reached out to the Raiders for comment.

Carroll enters his 31st season in the NFL, most recently spending 14 seasons as the Executive V.P. and Head Coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

Carroll has always been equal parts fun and ferocious — sometimes his drive to build competition inside the roster is overshadowed by his positive personality. For all of the memorable success of Wilson and running back Marshawn Lynch in Seattle, it was always the legendary Legion of Boom defense that set the tone.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders and Pete Carroll have agreed to a three-year deal with a fourth-year option.

The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Carroll, the former Super Bowl-winning coach of the Seattle Seahawks, as their coach, a person with knowledge of the deliberations confirmed Friday.

Super Bowl-winning head coach Pete Carroll is returning to the NFL after a one-year hiatus. He's the new head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. What does this mean?

The 73-year-old former Patriots and Seahawks coach is returning to the NFL after just one season off the sidelines.

Over the past few hours, the Raiders ended their searches for a general manager and head coach. Reports have John Spytek signing a five-year deal to become the next GM and Pete Carroll signing a three-year deal to become the next head coach.

Just how involved is Tom Brady with the Las Vegas Raiders? Apparently very involved. The Athletic NFL reporter Dianna Russini joined “The Ryen Russillo Podcast” for an episode that was published on Friday.
