It’s not a stretch of the imagination to say that Pete Carroll has failed the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. He was supposed to bring stability to a team that had fired two head coaches in two seasons. He was supposed to reinvent their offense and bring his winning culture to Sin City.

Instead, all he’s done is bog down this team with his hasty decisions and stubbornness. Any other franchise would’ve benched Geno Smith by now, but leave it to the oldest head coach in the NFL to stick to his ways and not leave any wiggle room for change. As long as he’s the head coach, the Raiders will be stuck in mediocrity.

Is His Job Safe?
