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.

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

Seahawks VP of coaching operations Matt Capurro is leaving the team after 15 years to reunite with Pete Carroll and rejoin the Raiders. Was with Carroll at USC in 2009 and in Seattle from '10-23, and worked for Al Davis in Oakland from '04-08. Valuable right-hand man to the HC.
