Just Now: Raiders are interested in pete carroll as the new head coach….

he shock of the Seattle Seahawks firing Pete Carroll is starting to wear off, and the reality of the team hiring a new head coach for the first time since 2010 is setting in. And while the playoffs roll on and we don’t know yet who the new coach will be, the Seahawks submitted several fascinating interview requests on Monday, Jan. 15, and those start to give Seattle fans an idea of who the next coach might be.

The Seahawks interview requests came in fast and furious on Monday, starting with a coach Seattle fans now well. Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was the first shoe to drop, as NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reported that he was the first coordinator the Seahawks put in an “interview slip” for.

After that, Pelissero came in hot announcing the other interview requests. Next, it was Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, followed by Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, and then Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham.

These head coach candidates fall into one of two buckets, and for now, it seems like the Seahawks will decide between these two distinct directions.

The Former NFL Head Coaches

Raheem Morris and Dan Quinn fall into one bucket, as these two have head coaching experience on their resume. There is a solid track record of teams giving failed head coaches another shot when they are older and wiser and finding success.

Bill Belichick, the greatest coach of all time, and Pete Carroll, the greatest coach in Seahawks history, are both examples of this.
