Pete Carroll is turning back the clock and heading to Sin City.

The 73-year-old has reached an agreement with the Las Vegas Raiders to become the franchise's next head coach, according to multiple reports. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it is a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option.

Carroll, who will turn 74 years old on Sept. 15, will become the oldest coach in NFL history. Romeo Crennel was the previous record-holder at 73 years and 199 days when he coached his last game for the Houston Texans in 2020.

This will be Carroll's fourth NFL team as a head coach. He previously coached the New York Jets (1994), New England Patriots (1997-99) and Seattle Seahawks (2010-2023) and also had a memorable collegiate stint at USC (2001-09).
