Raiders news: Pete Carroll’s coaching staff hiring updates
New Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has been on the job for a week now and he is busy putting his staff together.
While he has work to do, Carroll is making progress on filling his staff.
Monday, when he was introduced as the Raiders’ new head coach, Carroll said his 2025 staff would be a combination of former assistants from his 14-season stint as the coach of the Seattle Seahawks, spanning 2010-23, coaches from elsewhere and holdovers from the staff of the fired Antonio Pierce in Las Vegas.
That is what is unfolding.
In two of his three biggest hires, Carroll has kept holdovers as he retained defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and special teams coach Tom McMahon. They are both working with their third head coach and are entering their fourth season in Las Vegas.
Saturday night, another former Pierce assistant, defensive line coach Rob Leonard was retained. There has been speculation cornerbacks coach Ricky Manning Jr could return as well.
Carroll has brought in linebackers coach John Glenn and vice president of coaching operations Matt Capurro from his Seattle days.
Carroll has interviewed Darrell Bevell for the offensive coordinator job. Bevell was Seattle’s offensive coordinator for seven seasons. He is considered the favorite, but Carroll has to comply with the Rooney Rule at offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach so it’s a work in progress.
There is also speculation Carroll could hire Tom Cable as offensive line coach. Cable worked for Carroll in Seattle and has had stints with the Raiders as both the head coach and offensive line coach.
So, Carroll is making progress, but there’s still work to do as he fills his staff.
As the Las Vegas Raiders gear up for the upcoming season, head coach Pete Carroll has been busy assembling his coaching staff. Here are the latest updates on the Raiders’ coaching hires:
1. Offensive Coordinator – Carroll has tapped former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron to lead the Raiders’ offense. Waldron brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for innovative play-calling.
2. Defensive Coordinator – The Raiders have also brought in Gus Bradley as their new defensive coordinator. Bradley, who previously served as the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, is known for his aggressive and disciplined defensive schemes.
3. Special Teams Coordinator – In a surprising move, Carroll has hired former New England Patriots special teams coordinator Joe Judge to lead the Raiders’ special teams unit. Judge is widely regarded as one of the top special teams coaches in the league.
4. Position Coaches – The Raiders have also made several other coaching hires, including adding former NFL players DeMarcus Ware and Ed Reed as defensive line and defensive backs coaches, respectively. These hires bring a wealth of playing experience and knowledge to the Raiders’ coaching staff.
Overall, the Raiders’ coaching staff is shaping up to be one of the most experienced and talented in the league. With Carroll at the helm and a roster full of talented players, the Raiders are poised for a successful season ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on the Raiders’ coaching staff as the offseason progresses. #RaidersNews #CoachingStaffUpdates #PeteCarroll
