Momentum builds for Pete Carroll for Raiders

When Raiders did not get the guy that the minority owner Tom Brady seemed to be targeting (ieBen Johnson), silver and black have moved to a trainer whose hair went more silver than black a long time ago.

Momentum builds in league circles for Pete Carroll to be the next head coach of Raiders.

That doesn’t mean it’s done. That doesn’t mean he’s the guy. It only means that more people are able to know which way the wind blows, think the wind blows square in Carroll’s direction.

He coached Jets in 1994, the Patriots from 1997 to 1999 and Seahawks from 2010 to 2023. For nine years with USC, Carroll Trojans restored to their glory yesterday. And he took Seattle to his first and only Super Bowl title in 2013.

Now he might try to do the same with Raiders. It won’t be easy. But it will be good to see a Super Bowl-winning coach back in the game-if Brady and Raiders end up picking up Pete Carroll.
