"When you think about Pete Carroll, the thing that you think about most is the ultimate players coach. Guys just love playing for him and alongside of him. … The Las Vegas Raiders, similar to being in Oakland, they need that pulse. They need that understanding of who our team's identity is. What better coach to give them that or provide that than Pete Carroll." – Cam Newton on ESPN's First Take
"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. ... I think it gives them a chance in this division that's going to be rough, full of really, really good coaches. ... 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 look at that as more of a destination." – Richard Sherman on The Richard Sherman Podcast
"I think Pete's got a ton of energy. ... Pete knows how to run a good program. He's done that multiple times. I'm sure he'll add a lot to Las Vegas and honestly, I think they'll improve a lot this year." – Bill Belichick on the Pat McAfee Show
