Marshawn Lynch was already one of the biggest supporters of Pete Carroll joining the Las Vegas Raiders as their next coach. Lynch, who played under Carroll on the Seattle Seahawks from 2010 to '15 before spending two seasons with the Raiders, surprised Carroll at his introductory press conference on Monday and hilariously yelled "Raiders" during the presser.
Lynch grew up a Raiders fan, but has largely seen the team he rooted for as a kid struggle over the last two decades. The Raiders have made the playoffs just twice since 2002, and regularly are in the mix for top-10 draft picks over division titles or playoff appearances. Lynch expects his former NFL coach to be able to change some of the issues that have plagued the Raiders, starting with their culture.
