“In the NFL, though, Carroll has had the upper hand over Harbaugh (6-5), especially in their most recent battles,” Moton wrote. “Though the Chargers are coming off a year in which they clinched a playoff berth with an 11-6 record, Harbaugh probably isn't thrilled to see Carroll back in his conference and division.”

The Las Vegas Raiders announced Saturday that Pete Carroll is their new coach. The Raiders hope that even as the oldest head coach in the NFL the 73-year-old Carroll will provide stability for an organization badly lacking it.

Carroll, 73, is set to return to the NFL sideline as a head coach for the first time since the conclusion of the 2023 regular season.
