Carroll joined the Raiders after a one-year absence from coaching following a 14-season stint as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. With the Seahawks, Carroll won five NFC West titles, went to a pair of Super Bowls and won Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014.
He also served as head coach of the New England Patriots from 1997 to 1999 and spent one season at the helm of the New York Jets in 1994.
Carroll holds an overall mark of 173-134-1 across 19 NFL seasons. He is tied for 16th all-time in coaching wins with Jeff Fisher.
Collegiately, Carroll spent nine seasons at USC from 2001 to 2009, winning seven Pac-10 titles and back-to-back National Championships in 2003 and 2004. Carroll is one of only three coaches to have won both a National Championship and Super Bowl along with Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer.
