The 73-year-old Carroll clearly took the Raiders head coaching job because of the "one-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to work with the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

Carroll, 73, was introduced as the next head coach in Las Vegas alongside new general manager John Spytek to begin the week. A coach with a long track record in the NFL, Carroll set the bar high for himself right out of the gate.

New Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll’s introductory press conference on Monday featured a surprise cameo by one of his former players. Former Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch, who played for Carroll with the Seattle Seahawks, crashed Carroll’s presser and excitedly yelled “RAIDERS!” as he was toward the back of the press room.
