Richard Sherman reacts to the news that his former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has signed a three-year deal to become the new coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Will Pete be able to jump start the franchise and bring the Raiders back to the NFL Playoff? Also, Sherm reacts to Liam Coen leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Jacksonville Jaguars after GM Trent Baalke was fired, rumors of Robert Saleh rejoining Kyle Shanahan's San Francisco 49ers staff, and the Dallas Cowboys closing in on a deal to make Brian Schottenheimer their head coach.

The volume.
For the Alto Ball Championship. That should always do the expectation. All right, man at you go ahead.
Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. Another week, another surprise, Pete Carroll goes to the Las Vegas Raiders. I like it. I like it for him. I like that he's back in the coaching world. I like this for the Las Vegas Raiders. It gives them stability, It gives them legitimacy, you know. I think it validates a lot of things, and I think it gives them a chance in this division that's gonna be rough, you know, full of really really good coaches. You got Sean Payton, you got Jim Harbaugh, obviously Andy Reid who's been doing a phenomenal job for Kansas City. But the big thing, they have a huge budget for free age. They have one hundred and eight million dollars to spend in free agency this summer. And I think when you bring Pete Carroll in, players want to come play for him. Players understand, players know him, players parents know him. I think guys will Will will look at that as more of a destination. I'm sure he'll try to find a quarterback. Would it surprise me. If if Russell Wilson, you know, comes in there and has a free agent visit, I highly doubt it, you know what I mean, But that that would not surprise me at all.
They need some receivers.
So guys like t Higgins who potentially will be available, Stefan Diggs who could potentially be available, are guys that I'm sure he'd look at. Offensive line is something he need to fix. He'd I look interested to see who his coordinators will be. Does he go back to old faithful with Gus Bradley or does he does he does Steve Wilkes get a call and you know they work together. Leslie Frasier is a name I'm sure that that he would consider offensively. There are a lot of names out there, a lot of different scenarios. Again, does he go back to his old way, somebody familiar, somebody who he's won a Super Bowl with Darryl Bevell? Or does he go one of these new young coordinators who are looking for a shot, find one of these quarterback coaches that are looking that can call a game. Maybe Greasy who's been out there in San Francisco with Kyle Shanahan. There's a number of ways he could go with that staff. But I think this is a great move for the Las Vegas Raiders. I don't think this is gonna be what and done like they've been the last few years. I think this is something that's gonna last for a while. Maybe they'll have a succession playing in place. Because Pete's seventy three years old, obviously, but I think he has a lot left in the tank and he'll have a lot of energy. He'll be crazy on the sideline. You'll see these players, You'll see the culture change in Las Vegas. This will probably be one of the better cultures that they've had in a very long time. Speed Tech as a GM is a good call. I think that's a good hire. I think they'll work hand in hand together. You know, maybe they'll draft a guy, you know, if a quarterbacks there at the pick they want, or maybe they'll move back Pete's Pete in Seattle. They move back a lot in the draft, and you know, like to accumulate a lot more draft picks, so that could be something. But I talked to him this morning, and he's really excited about the opportunity. You know, he's he's really excited to uh, you know, to be in this division and to go out there and compete again. You know, he's gonna he's gonna put the best product he can out there on the field. And I look forward to seeing that. Uh, this division is gonna be must what must see TV though, with all these great coaches, these these young quarterbacks that are that are getting it in. Obviously Patrick Mahomes justin Herbert H. Bow Nicks has you know, finished the season off strong, they went to the playoffs, and whoever, whoever, Uh, Pete's able to get at the quarterback spot for Las Vegas Raiders. They got the new stadium. Uh, the fan base is itching for some success. You know, that's one of the most loyal and and adamant fan bases in the National Football League. So I'm sure, you know, they may have mixed feelings about it right now, but I think in the end they'll be pretty happy about the results. And I can't wait. I can't wait. Personally, I think the rivalry between Pete and Jim continues.
Obviously, you know, both of them have gone to.
Different places now and maybe it's cool down, but you know, sometimes it never ends, it never stops, and so we'll see. I think they're they're probably a year away from the playoffs because he needs to get the quarterback he needs to get. He needs to get, you know, the systems in place. He needs to get the coaches in his place. He needs to really establish the culture. He's gonna run the football. He's gonna find a quarterback who doesn't turn the ball over again. That's gonna sound like Russell Wilson. But he needs the receivers in place. He needs to tight ends, needs to put all those things in place in order to really make this a destination for free agents, and guys are gonna have to trust and believe in him.

So the Jacksonville Jaguars. Liam Cohen said, no, I'm good. I'm going back to Tampa Bay. Thank you for the opportunity you guys got Trim Balki. No thanks, thanks, but no thanks. We don't want to be here. They get rid of to it Trim balk shag Con is like, hey, okay, I get it.
We're getting rid of Trim Balki.
Now Liam Callin is the highest paid offensive coordinator national Football League.
Tampa.
Everybody thinks everything's good there. Robert Salas at home trying to figure out what Jacksonville is doing, looking like the leading candidate to go to the Jacksonville Jaguars to San Francisco. Forty nine are rating William Callin pivots. He says, oh, Trim balk he's gone. I'm in, and he goes back, goes to Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a while, calls him after the deal's done. Robert Sala goes back to San Francisco, where I think it'll be a great fit. You know, he'll get another opportunity, still a talented team. He did well there before. I think he'll do well there again. I think there'll be opportunities for him to be a head coach again at some point. He's been a great defensive coordinator in this league. There's still multiple spots available. We're hearing rumblings the Cowboys potentially hiring Brian Schottenheimer. That that be an interesting pick, you know. I think it would be a pick for continuity sake and to keep that team together, to keep Dak Prescott under the same offensive system and coordinator. I'm not sure if they're retaining Mike Zimmer, but I would hope that Al Harris gets an opportunity to call that defense.
I think he has a lot of.
Respect and regard in that room, in that building, from the fans, from the players. I think he'd be do a great job at that spot. But I have no idea. The New Orleans Saints are kind of in a wait and see mode, so maybe they're looking at one of the quarterback one of the coordinators that are still coaching in the playoffs right now. That would seem like the obvious case, you know. I thought Aaron Glenn would have had opportunity there, but the Jets didn't let him out of the building. So congratulations that Aaron Glenn. Hopefully again that situation works out better than it did for Robert Sala. Disappointed for Sala. I thought he'd get a good opportunity out that do a good job and Jacksonville and would be able to help them turn that around. But unfortunately he didn't get the job. Ka Liam calling fixed, Trevor Lawrence and his issues, I don't know, We'll we'll see, you know, he had a great season with Baker Mayfield. So the system works. They had talent in Tampa. He has talent, and Jacksonville Ken Ken, Trevor Lawrence put it together with the new offensive coordinator, a new offensive coach. We'll see, It's to be seen. He's coming off an injury, so that's something that'll be a storyline this offseason. That will be a storyline next season. Obviously, it may take a couple of years for them to figure it out. But a lot of a lot of moving parts today, a lot of moving parts in the football world.
A lot of dominoes failed today. And I'm a fan.
I'm a fan a lot of these moves, you know, as as it's as it always is, it's wait and see league, how do they actually all play out? Everybody's excited Day one, excited in the offseason. Oh, we won the offseason. We got the best coach. No, we've got the best coach. We got the best coach. Well, time will tell, and I'm here to watch it. Got my popcorn in hand. Pete's back in the league.
What a time.
