It was reported Wednesday that Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady had " zero interest in hiring " Bill Belichick as the club's next head coach even though the two spoke at some point after Belichick became the head coach of the North Carolina football program and before Las Vegas hired Pete Carroll.

Carroll's energy is known and obvious, but he cranked it up a notch while taking on the challenge of coaching the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders' search for a new head coach reached its conclusion Friday as former Seahawks and USC head coach Pete Carroll was hired by Las Vegas. Carroll must now execute the plan on which he sold Raiders leadership to rise from the depths of the AFC West to its peak.
