The AFC West is now stacked with Super Bowl-winning coaches

AFC West (Organization) Pete Carroll Super Bowl Jim Harbaugh Andy Reid Sean Payton NFL

The Las Vegas Raiders made a splash on Friday by hiring Pete Carroll as their new head coach.

Carroll, 73, now joins a stacked group of head coaches in AFC West. Carroll, who won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, will now compete against three-time Super Bowl champion Andy Reid (Kansas City Chiefs) and one-time Super Bowl champion Sean Payton (Denver Broncos).

Jim Harbaugh also just joined the division last year and while he does not yet have a ring, Harbaugh led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance and he has a 55-25-1 all-time record in the NFL.

The four AFC West coaches have reached 20 conference title games with nine combined Super Bowl appearances, arguably making it the most impressive division of coaches in the NFL.

The Chiefs (Patrick Mahomes), Chargers (Justin Herbert) and Broncos (Bo Nix) all have their answers at quarterback. Now Carroll will aim to help the Raiders find their long-term QB in 2025.
