The Las Vegas Raiders made a big-time move when they hired Pete Carroll as their next head coach. For much of the last two decades the Raiders have been dysfunctional and inconsistent, but now have a strong foundation to turn the corner with a proven coach in Carroll.
The Raiders weren't exactly an attractive coaching job. They went 4-13 last season, didn't have a franchise quarterback, and had plenty of holes across the roster. Las Vegas did make one move though that helped lure Carroll to coach the team—letting Tom Brady purchase a minority stake in the franchise last fall.
