The Raiders have already made it official their new general manager John Spytek and new head coach Pete Carroll. The next step is a formal press conference. And now that is set as well.
The 73-year-old former Seahawks coach is reportedly the front-runner for the Raiders job. Would he be a good fit in Las Vegas?
The word “culture” will be thrown around a lot when Carroll and Spytek are introduced, but "continuity" might be the bigger word.
The Raiders' new head coach has found success over the years against these other in-division coaches, with a career total 10 wins against Reid, Payton and Harbaugh. This includes an NFC Championship victory over Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers in the 2013 season.
