Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch hilariously interrupted new Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll during the latter’s introductory press conference on Monday.
On Saturday, the Raiders officially named Pete Carroll their new head coach after relieving Antonio Pierce of his duties. Carroll spent the 2024 season as an advisor to the Seattle Seahawks, having coached the NFC West club from 2010 to 2023.
Lynch, who played seven seasons for Carroll’s Seahawks and two for the Raiders, attended today’s introductory conference. While Carroll was speaking to reporters, a fired-up Lynch provided some laughs for the crowd by screaming, “RAIDERS!”
To make this even greater, Pete Carroll sarcastically told Raiders owner Mark Davis to “settle down a little bit.”
The Raiders have gone through coach after coach after coach for 30 years now since Al Davis controversially fired the beloved Art Shell after the 1994 season. Including interim coaches, Pete Carroll is already the organization’s ninth HC since 2011.
Pete Carroll Was A Smart Hire By Raiders
Only time will tell if Pete Carroll will be the much-needed solution and provide stability for a Raiders franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game since 2002, but it’s hard not to feel optimistic if you’re a Las Vegas fan.
Carroll is a renowned players’ coach who built fun-loving AND winning cultures at USC and Seattle. A lock for the Hall of Fame, he’s a defensive guru and schematic genius who always got the most out of his players (no matter how strong or weak his roster was) in Seattle.

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
