Raiders Introduce Pete Carroll as Head Coach, John Spytek as GM

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders will officially introduce Pete Carroll as their new head coach and John Spytek as general manager during a press conference Monday at 11 a.m. PT. The announcement marks a significant shift in leadership for the NFL franchise as they aim to rebuild and compete in the upcoming seasons.

Carroll, a seasoned NFL coach with a storied career, most recently led the Seattle Seahawks for 14 seasons, including a Super Bowl XLVIII victory. His hiring signals the Raiders‘ commitment to bringing in experienced leadership to revitalize the team. Spytek, previously the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ director of player personnel, brings a strong track record in talent evaluation and roster building.

“We are thrilled to welcome Pete and John to the Raiders family,” said Raiders owner Mark Davis in a statement. “Their combined expertise and vision align perfectly with our goals for the future.”

The press conference will be held at the Raiders’ headquarters in Henderson, Nevada, and will be streamed live for fans and media. Carroll and Spytek are expected to outline their plans for the team, including potential roster changes and strategic priorities.

Carroll’s return to the NFL sidelines comes after a brief hiatus following his departure from the Seahawks in 2023. Known for his energetic coaching style and defensive acumen, Carroll has a career record of 161-112-1 in the regular season and 11-10 in the playoffs.

Spytek, meanwhile, played a key role in the Buccaneers’ recent success, including their Super Bowl LV victory in 2021. His ability to identify and develop talent will be crucial as the Raiders look to strengthen their roster through the draft and free agency.

The Raiders finished the 2024 season with a 7-10 record, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The new leadership duo faces the challenge of turning around a team that has struggled to find consistency in recent seasons.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Carroll and Spytek navigate the offseason and prepare for the 2025 campaign. The press conference is expected to draw significant attention as the Raiders embark on this new chapter.
