In a matter of hours, Pete Carroll will begin preparations for his fourth head coaching stint in the NFL, after a one-year hiatus from the profession.

In recent weeks, Carroll was firmly cemented as the Raiders’ Plan B in the event that a pursuit of Johnson went awry or never lifted off the ground.
