Pete Carroll to Raiders per Fox

The cumulative number of years with head coaching experience in the AFC West is just mind blowing lol

Not following the logic of this.   Unless the raiders are in complete disarray and need an adult to get things back to square 1

The reports were the same there as in New England. The inexperience of both coaches was so evident that the owners knew they had to move on immediately. The big things were scheduling and preparation were so inadequate, once you paired that with terrible in game decisions, and losses it was a wrap. Hence, now you have two grown ups in both places. The Raiders were looking for and elder statesman though for sure with the options in their search.

They'll end up drafting Shedeur Sanders and hiring Deion after Carroll retires in 2-3 years.

it's SO nice to not be sitting here in an off-season cycle wondering what coach changes were/are coming our way.  Haven't felt way that since I can't recall

What is curious about this is the fact that the Raiders don't have a QB. 

I would say that Pete Carroll is the kind of coach I would love to play for.   I have a few friends who were former NFL and college players and we discussed what coach we'd like to play for (about a year or so ago)--and coaches we'd not like.  All based on outsider's perspective (a few had some weak connections to the grapevine), which is usually not the same as an insider.

Popular coaches mentioned:  Andy Reid, Pete Carroll, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, DeMeco Ryans, Dan Campbell.

Unpopular coaches mentioned:  Sean McVay, Doug Pederson, Mike McDaniel, Jim Harbaugh--Josh McDaniels and Jon Gruden came up as well. 

Understand, this was from a player's perspective and a few knew some of the coaches as assistants back when they played.  Mostly positive or mixed.

I did not see this coming.  I’m genuinely surprised.

I'm surprised to see McVay in the unpopular list.

He seems like a coach who is liked by his players, he's an elite offensive mind, and he's won a SB, why is he in that list?

Have you ever worked for someone that was good at their job but tough to work for?  It can happen.

100%

But those other guys on the unpopular list have histories/stories of things that make people question them as a HC and/or why people wouldn't want to play with them.

I'd never heard of anything like that with McVay, which is why I was surprised he was on the list and asking why he'd be on that side of the ledger.

I bet Bill Belichick would be on that list too.  It seemed like a lot of players just put up with his approach because they were winning.  Sometimes the coach you need isn't the one you want.  That's why you need a coach if you think about it.
