A legendary coach is returning to the pro football sidelines after a year off.
Bill Belichick isn’t back in the NFL. Rather, Pete Carroll is going to become the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders it was reported Friday.
This will be the fourth NFL team that Carroll has coached.
He spent a year with the New York Jets, three with the New England Patriots and 14 with the Seattle Seahawks.
Overall, his head coaching mark is 170-120-1.
Carroll. 73, is getting a three-year deal with a team option for the fourth. He replaces Antonio Pierce, who was fired after going 4-13 in one full season.
Of course, the Raiders have a limited owner named Tom Brady who had input on the decision.
Just in: Pete Carroll and the Raiders now have reached agreement on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option, sources tell ESPN.
