Raiders fire Pete Carroll after one season; GM John Spytek remains - ESPN

HENDERSON, Nev. — The Pete Carroll era with the Las Vegas Raiders is over after just one year.

The team fired the 74-year-old coach Monday after it went 3-14 this season, which ended with a 14-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Before the game, Las Vegas had lost 10 straight and already had wrapped up the No. 1 selection in the 2026 NFL draft.

Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement that general manager John Spytek, who was hired along with Carroll last year, will lead football operations with minority owner Tom Brady, including the search for the team's next 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,» Davis said in the statement.

Now, Las Vegas will search for its sixth head coach since 2021. The last coach to be with the organization for at least two seasons is Jon Gruden (2018-21).

For Carroll, it's the first time he has been fired in his first season since 1994, when the New York Jets moved on from him after going 6-10.

Las Vegas hired Carroll last January on a three-year deal (with a fourth-year option) after he spent a season away from football following his departure from the Seattle Seahawks after 14 seasons and a 137-89 record with the team.

Las Vegas was looking for someone who could establish a strong winning culture after going 4-13 under Antonio Pierce, and Carroll — one of only three coaches to win both a Super Bowl title and a national title in college (USC) — had the background to do that.

Las Vegas attempted to help Carroll fast-track the rebuilding process by hiring offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, trading for starting quarterback Geno Smith and taking running back
