Raiders’ Freefall Spurs Talk of Negotiated Pete Carroll Exit as Coach Says He Isn’t Coaching for His Job

The 2-12 club is fresh off a 31-0 no-show with 75 total yards, and Carroll now concedes a rebuild is likely.

Overview

  • The eight-game skid includes Sunday’s 31-0 loss in Philadelphia, where Las Vegas finished with 75 yards and matched a season with two 31-point shutouts while setting dubious marks such as six straight games with 4+ sacks allowed and under 75 rushing yards.
  • Pro Football Talk reported, citing a league source, that speculation has emerged about a negotiated resolution in which Carroll could “retire” and receive a portion of what he is owed.
  • Carroll told reporters he does not feel he is coaching for his job and said a rebuild appears necessary after he was “blindly optimistic” about a quick turnaround.
  • Frustration has spilled into public view, with cameras capturing Maxx Crosby shouting at teammate Devin White during the blowout as media and fans question Carroll’s postgame defense of the team’s effort.
  • Operational turmoil continues after in-season staff firings, with Greg Olson now calling plays for an offense ranked last in yards per game and struggling to protect quarterbacks or sustain a run game.
