Pete Carroll is set to return to the sideline as a head coach following a one-year hiatus and Brian Schottenheimer and Liam Coen are ready for their first shots at running an NFL team.

The Raiders and Carroll agreed in principle on a three-year deal with a one-year team option, according to reports.

The 73-year-old Carroll returns to the sideline after leading Seattle to two NFC championships and the franchise’s only Super Bowl title during a 14-year stretch that ended following the 2023 season.

The Cowboys announced Friday that Schottenheimer agreed on a deal to become the storied franchise’s next coach.

The somewhat surprising choice is a familiar one for star QB Dak Prescott, who worked closely with Schottenheimer the past two seasons when former coach Mike McCarthy was the play-caller.

Coen was hired by Jacksonville two days after the Jaguars fired GM Trent Baalke to clear the path for Coen.

With Aaron Glenn having been hired by the Jets, Ben Johnson heading to Chicago and Mike Vrabel already in New England, only one head coaching vacancy remains — the Saints.

Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver and Giants OC Mike Kafka are getting second interviews with the Saints.

Interim coach Darren Rizzi, who went 3-5 following Dennis Allen’s firing, was among the candidates already interviewed along with Joe Brady, Moore and former Stanford coach David Shaw.

Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury is on the team’s list but he’s waiting until after the season. The Saints also are interested in McCarthy.
