Pete Carroll is out — and the Raiders are once again starting over.

After a 3–14 season, the Raiders officially moved on from Carroll, marking their sixth head coach search since 2020. In this episode of the Silver & Black Sports Network Podcast, Jesse Merrick breaks down how the organization reached this point and why the fit between Carroll, his staff, and GM John Spytek never truly made sense.

But this isn’t just a postmortem.

We move the conversation forward and discuss:

• Why the Carroll hire always felt like an arranged marriage
• What ultimately led to the decision to move on
• Where the Raiders go from here in their head coaching search
• Which coaching candidates actually make sense for this organization
• And why, despite recent chaos, this Raiders job may be as attractive as it’s ever been

There are real reasons to believe the right hire could change the trajectory of this franchise — and we break down what that coach needs to look like.
