Briefly

Can Pete Carroll really win right away with the Raiders?
"We are going to win a bunch of games. I can't even imagine anything else,"
"I've been winning 10 games a year for 20 years or something, you know? I mean, what are my expectations? We are going to win a bunch, and I don't care who hears that. ... I wish I could guarantee it to you, but I can't even think of what else it could be, other than being really successful."
"I'm thrilled to be in the position where it looks like all odds are against you," Carroll said. "Nothing wrong with that."
Pete Carroll begins Year 1 as Las Vegas Raiders head coach with high expectations and a win-oriented mindset. Carroll has finished with a losing record only four times in 18 NFL seasons and has nine seasons with at least 10 wins. He inherited a 4-13 team that missed the postseason since 2021 and went 0-6 against AFC West rivals in 2024. The Raiders are expected to rely on young players at key positions, making the season partly developmental. Las Vegas has a 24.1% playoff chance and a projected win total of 7.5 entering the opener against the Patriots.
