Pete Carroll versus Andy Reid will now become a regular twice-per-season matchup in the NFL, thanks to Carroll's arrival with the Raiders.

The NFL has seen a youth movement at head coach in recent years, but the Raiders went against that trend with their newest hire.

The AFC West underwent a dramatic shakeup on Friday with the arrival of Pete Carroll as Las Vegas Raiders head coach – rekindling his longstanding rivalry with Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh in the process.

Which means the Super Bowl champion Carroll is now the oldest head coach in the league by far. The San Francisco native will turn 74 in September when the 2025 NFL season begins. The next-oldest coach, Andy Reid, will turn 67 in March — assuming he returns to the Chiefs for another year.
