It’s been three years since Las Vegas Raiders acting-owner Mark Davis attempted to bring the ‘Patriots Way’ to Sin City. After 25 miserable weeks of regular season football, Davis elected to swiftly pull the plug on that experiment.

The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Pete Carroll to be the team’s head coach, according to reports. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero first reported the news. CNN has reached out to the Raiders for comment.

The Raiders' hiring of Pete Carroll has Maxx Crosby pumped up -- even more than usual. The star defensive end said this week on SiriusXM’s "Let’s Go" podcast with Jim Gray that his mentality matches Carroll’s.
