Pete Carroll is continuing to give his players and the fans tangible evidence of what everyone seems to be doubting with him

The Las Vegas Raiders made what may be the most important coaching hire in their franchise history this offseason. This is a franchise that hasn't won a Super Bowl in 40 years, and one that hasn't won a playoff game in 20-plus years.

So, the magnitude of importance they getting this decision right can't be scaled. They need the right head coach, because if not, it would be another one fired, which they have done every year for the last four years. If there is anyone who could turn this team around, it's most certainly the guy they hired – Pete Carroll.

Just in the short time he has been in Las Vegas, he has already shown that he can defy anything that people are saying negatively about him. They said he was too old, as Carroll is set to become the oldest head coach this season.

He's proved that wrong already in his short amount of time with the Raiders, whether it's running sprints on the field during practice, doing the drills with the players, or yelling and hyping up the fans. He's proven he has the youth still, and he's proven he's building a culture.

And recently, we only got another example of that.

Pete Carroll is giving another example of his youthful culture-building

Training camp has gotten off to a great start so far for the Raiders. Sure, there are some things to clean up, but every team has things they need to clean up. Then again, every team has those kinds of issues at this point in the season.

But Caroll has found a way to make training camp enjoyable for the players, fans, and even the media. We've seen him jump on top of players and staff members and make them tap out as if they are wrestling, but of course, in a playful mood.

Now, he's tackling staff members, also in a playful mood.

This is just what Carroll is about and always has been about.

Pete Carroll’s philosophy and style remind me a lot of Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh always has faith in his guys and surrounds his players with teammates who feel the same way. It creates a legitimate culture that breeds success from others, rather than a collection of talent or potential. With that, the bonds they share with players are quite unique. That’s proven in instances like the practice reps where Carroll joins in or the weekly pre-game hype sessions with Justin Hebert that Harbaugh created. There’s a balance to being a coach whom players love and respect, compared to a coach that players feel they can garner an upper hand on their game in order to get what they want. The new Raiders head coach understands what it’s like to have a leader you trust and believe will guide everyone in the right direction as a unit, rather than as individuals. Carroll and some other long-time coaches who have found success have found how to keep the scales equal on both sides. – Adam Holt, A to Z Sports
