Let’s catch up on the Las Vegas Raiders‘ week of talks and developments—including a new general manager and the latest on owner Mark Davis. As we all know, Ben Johnson didn’t work out for the Silver and Black.

“Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis has whiffed a handful of times on head coaches and general managers the past 14 years,” Manzano wrote in a Jan. 14 column. “But he didn’t even give coach Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco a fair shake in firing both after one year.

Our latest episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider podcast dives into what could very well be the trifecta that leads the Silver and Black.

The word “culture” will be thrown around a lot when Carroll and Spytek are introduced, but "continuity" might be the bigger word.

Spytek will be in charge of the Raiders’ day-to-day operations and roster moves. Here are the top five items on his agenda.

Pete Carroll and the Raiders have reached an agreement on a three-year deal with a fourth-year team option to be the team's new head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Pete Carroll is headed back to an NFL sideline with the Raiders, and he'll become the oldest coach in league history once he debuts in Las Vegas.

Carroll has always been equal parts fun and ferocious — sometimes his drive to build competition inside the roster is overshadowed by his positive personality. For all of the memorable success of Wilson and running back Marshawn Lynch in Seattle, it was always the legendary Legion of Boom defense that set the tone.

With Pete Carroll now at the helm, the Las Vegas Raiders look to elevate their franchise amid a fierce AFC West coaching gauntlet.

Johnson seemed like the Raiders' Plan A. Now, where will Mark Davis, Tom Brady and the franchise turn to find their new head coach?

Brady has been helping the Raiders make some key decisions early in the offseason, including influence in hiring GM John Spytek and coach Pete Carroll. Spytek has a close connection to Brady, as they played together for one season at Michigan and overlapped again with the Buccaneers when Spytek was in Tampa Bay's front office.
