Pete Carroll was out of football last season. Seemingly retired from coaching after 40 years in the NFL. As such, he took on a new role — college professor.
It was announced last December he would be co-teaching a course at USC Marshall called ‘Game is Life’. Six weeks later, he was back in the NFL as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Many assumed that meant his new teaching job would be put on hold. But apparently that’s not the case.
According to Ryan Kartje at the LA Times, Carroll will continue his new teaching gig at USC while also coaching the Raiders.

For as many people who are critical of his ability to be a head coach at the NFL level at the age of 74 — becoming the oldest ever NFL head coach — I guess age is what you make it because even at 73, Carroll’s got the energy to multitask.
