The 73-year-old Pete Carroll will make history this season as the oldest head coach in NFL history. The title belongs to Romeo Crennel, who was 73 years and 199 days old for his last game on Jan. 3, 2021 with the Texans. Carroll will turn 74 on September 15.

In his return to the NFL at age 73, Pete Carroll will set a new league record as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. Carroll has already regained his status as the oldest active head coach in the NFL, but once the season begins, he will have a record within reach.

Which means the Super Bowl champion Carroll is now the oldest head coach in the league by far. The San Francisco native will turn 74 in September when the 2025 NFL season begins. The next-oldest coach, Andy Reid, will turn 67 in March — assuming he returns to the Chiefs for another year.
