The Las Vegas Raiders are negotiating a deal to hire Pete Carroll to be their new head coach, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.

Pete Carroll, 73, will return to the sideline with the Las Vegas Raiders after leading the Seattle Seahawks to two NFC titles and the franchise’s only Super Bowl win during a 14-year stretch.

The Raiders' search for a new head coach reached its conclusion Friday as former Seahawks and USC head coach Pete Carroll was hired by Las Vegas. Carroll must now execute the plan on which he sold Raiders leadership to rise from the depths of the AFC West to its peak.
