Las Vegas’ new coach talks with The GOAT often and is one of the reasons he joined the franchise
The Las Vegas Raiders’ new head coach, Pete Carroll, was a hire that wasn’t expected after the firing of Antonio Pierce. He was a candidate who seemed like a long shot when Carroll displayed interest in returning to the sidelines. It was decided that Las Vegas is the best place for him, and he hopes to build a struggling franchise.
One of the reasons Carroll chose the Silver and Black was the presence of Tom Brady. Brady became a minority owner with the Raiders in 2024 and was helping with the coaching search. During an interview with Seattle Sports 710 radio, Carroll said he speaks to Brady regularly, and he made him feel comfortable with joining Las Vegas.
“When Tom came onboard here it changed my outlook to come here. I thought that would be one of the great opportunities of all time, to have his presence. His presence is strong. [General manager] John Spytek and him go back a ton of years and Johnny holds him in the highest regard. So we’re trying to infuse Tom’s mentality, we’re trying to bring it into the organization, because it’s so good and so unique and so one-of-a-kind, I think it helps us to be a one-of-a-kind franchise.”
The relationship between the front office and the coaching staff is vital for any franchise. It is exciting for Raiders fans to have what appears to be stability within the organization. Hopefully, it leads to wins on the football field.
