Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll is not publicly dwelling on nostalgia as he returns to Seattle, even if it marks his first time back on the opposing sideline. Carroll faces the Seahawks in the preseason opener Thursday night at Lumen Field, where he led Seattle to a Super Bowl XLVIII title and became the winningest coach in franchise history. Still, he insists the trip is all business.
"It's the only game we got," Carroll said . "It happens to be in Seattle."
Carroll, 73, led the Seahawks from 2010 until he stepped down in January 2024. He remained with the organization as an advisor to new coach Mike Macdonald. Over 14 seasons, Carroll guided Seattle to 10 playoff appearances, five NFC West titles and the franchise's first Super Bowl title -- a 43-8 rout of the Denver Bronco
