The Las Vegas Raiders have found their next head coach. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Pete Carroll has agreed to a three-year deal to become the team’s head coach. There is also a team option in the fourth year.

The New Orleans Saints and the Dallas Cowboys are the only two NFL teams still looking for a new head coach after the Las Vegas Raiders hired Pete Carroll and the Jacksonville Jaguars hired Liam Coen recently.

Carroll will be 74 this fall, becoming the oldest head coach in NFL history 12 months after Seattle fired then paid him.

Pete Carroll and the Raiders have reached an agreement on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option to be the team's new head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
