Las Vegas' new coach will be tasked with turning things around, and through certain lenses, there's a lot riding on his success or failure to do so.
As much as the Las Vegas Raiders needed a credible head coach, they also needed someone who could truly set a tone and forge a new culture. While he may not have been their No. 1 choice when the interview process started, the Raiders definitely got that tone setter in Pete Carroll.
Carroll spent last season out of football after a successful run as the Seattle Seahawks' head coach.
