Jan. 5 (UPI) — The Las Vegas Raiders fired head coach Pete Carroll at the end of his first season, they announced Monday.
Carroll’s Raiders went 3-14, which tied for the worst record in the NFL. The 2025-26 Raiders scored the fewest points and totaled the fewest yards in the league.
Carroll, 74, was the oldest active head coach in the league.
“We appreciate and wish him and his family all the best,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a news release. “Moving forward, general manager John Spytek will lead all football operations in close collaboration with [minority owner] Tom Brady, including the search for the club’s next head coach.
“Together, they will guide football decisions with a shared focus on leadership, culture, and alignment with the organization’s long-term vision and goals.”
The Raiders, who signed Carroll to a three-year deal in January, will hire their sixth head coach since 2021.
Carroll, who previously coached the Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, New York Jets and USC Trojans, has a 173-134-1 record over 19 years as an NFL head coach. His 173 wins are tied with Jeff Fisher for 16th in NFL history.
