Hughes’ NFL experience includes a two-year stint as the Vikings’ defensive backs coach under Bud Grant in 1982 and 1983, giving him a connection with one of the Raiders’ head coach candidates. Grant retired after the 1983 season, but returned to Minnesota in 1985 and hired Pete Carroll in Hughes’ former position.

Longtime former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is reportedly in line to interview with a second team.

Las Vegas will interview Carroll next week for their head coach position, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Thursday night. The former Seahawks coach interviewed with the Bears earlier in the day as he tries to get another gig in the NFL. Carroll, 73, led Seattle for 14 seasons and won Super Bowl 2014 in a rout of the Broncos.
