The Kansas City Chiefs' divisional rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, have hired Pete Carroll to be their next head coach.
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.
The Raiders' new head coach has found success over the years against these other in-division coaches, with a career total 10 wins against Reid, Payton and Harbaugh. This includes an NFC Championship victory over Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers in the 2013 season.
The Raiders were among the front-runners to land Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, but had to pivot when Johnson took over in Chicago. Here's a look at how the NFL world reacted to that pivot, and the hiring of Carroll:
