In 2024, the UW Huskies had both Brennan Carroll and Bill Belichick on their staff, but now neither is part of the team.
Brennan Carroll is stepping down from his roles as Washington’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach to join his father, Pete Carroll, with the Las Vegas Raiders, as reported by Big Ten Network’s Yogi Roth on Monday morning.
Per Roth, Brennan Carroll will be the Raiders’ offensive line coach and run game coordinator.
Pete Carroll was hired last week as the new Raiders head coach. He spent one season out of the NFL after being let go by the Seattle Seahawks following the 2023 campaign, ending a 14-year run in the Pacific Northwest that was the most successful coaching tenure in franchise history.
Washington also lost defensive coordinator Steve Belichick last month after just one season, as he took the same position at the University of North Carolina under his father, Bill Belichick. After not coaching in 2024, Bill Belichick returned to the sidelines following the New England Patriots’ decision to part ways with him after the 2023 season.
To replace Steve Belichick, the Huskies hired former Purdue head coach Ryan Walters last month as the new defensive coordinator.
UW head coach Jedd Fisch, who had been an assistant in the NFL under both Bill Belichick with the Patriots and Pete Carroll with the Seahawks, had both of these legendary coaches around the Huskies program last year while their sons were on staff.
Under Brennan Carroll, the 2024 UW Huskies offense ranked 32nd in the nation in passing yards (261.7 yards per game), 61st in total offense (390.5 yards per game), 100th in rushing offense (128.8 yards per game), and 104th in scoring (23.4 points per game).
The 45-year-old Brendan Carroll was previously Fisch’s OC and O-line coach at Arizona from 2021-23, which came after he spent six seasons on his father’s Seahawks coaching staff as assistant offensive line coach (2015-19) and run game coordinator (2020). He also spent time as an assistant at the University of Miami from 2011-14, and coached under his father early in his career at both USC and with the Seahawks.
