Dan Patrick: "I like the hire. He's a proven commodity. I know people will bring up his age, what kind of stability is it. The NFL is year-to-year. It's just like Bill Belichick at North Carolina. I don't think Belichick will be the head coach in 5 years at North Carolina. Are the Raiders better today than they were yesterday? The answer is yes. I think this is really good. I've said I would take Pete Carroll over Ben Johnson. I've seen him do this. I want somebody who is a proven commodity. I don't know if there is a downside. He's got the energy of a 32 year-old. That won't be an issue."
