Two wins are not what anyone expected entering the 2025 NFL season for the Las Vegas Raiders. Pete Carroll was tabbed as the head coach who could at least steer the team to a .500 record or so and change the culture of the franchise.
That obviously hasn't happened. To be fair, few thought that quarterback Geno Smith would regress so rapidly, and Chip Kelly was viewed as the head coach in waiting once Carroll rode off into the retirement sunset. But somehow, somewhere, everything went wrong for the Silver and Black.
Now the calendar is about to flip to January, however, and the Raiders are on the cusp of searching for their third coach in as many years.
