The Las Vegas Raiders are set to bring back defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, and will likely bring back defensive line coach Rob Leonard as well. But, that doesn't mean their defense will look the same as last year.

The Las Vegas Raiders are negotiating a deal to hire Pete Carroll to be their new head coach, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Friday.

The Las Vegas Raiders were 15th in the league in fewest passing yards allowed and produced 18 sacks in their last six games of the season. This could be considered an impressive feat with three of their four starting defensive linemen at the beginning of the year ultimately ending up on the injured reserve list by the end.

Carroll has one Super Bowl title as a head coach from the 2013 season, and one of his new bosses helped prevent him from getting a second. Tom Brady, a Raiders minority owner, and the Patriots defeated Carroll's Seahawks in the unforgettable Super Bowl XLIX, which culminated with Malcolm Butler's goal-line interception.

The 73-year-old former Patriots and Seahawks coach is returning to the NFL after just one season off the sidelines.
