About Pete Carroll
Peter Clay Carroll (born September 15, 1951) is an American professional football coach who is the head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He previously served as head coach for the NCAA's USC Trojans (2001–2009) and the NFL's New York Jets (1994), New England Patriots (1997–1999), and Seattle Seahawks (2010–2023). Carroll is the third head coach to win both a college football national championship and a Super Bowl along with Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer.
Beginning his coaching career on the NFL level, Carroll saw minimal success as head coach of the Jets and Patriots in the 1990s. Shifting to college football with USC, he revitalized the struggling program into a top-ranked contender, winning seven consecutive conference championships and an AP national championship. He also won a BCS national championship at the 2005 Orange Bowl, although the title was later vacated.
Carroll's collegiate success prompted an NFL return in 2010 when he was hired as the head coach of the Seahawks. In 14 seasons under Carroll as their coach, the Seahawks qualified for the playoffs 10 times, clinched their division five times, made two consecutive Super Bowl appearances, and won the franchise's first championship in Super Bowl XLVIII. The team's Legion of Boom defense also led the league in scoring defense for four consecutive seasons during his tenure, and in 2018 he became the Seahawks' winningest coach. Following the 2023 season, Carroll stepped down as head coach to take an advisory position with the Seahawks for one year. He would leave the organization in 2025 to become head coach of the Raiders.
