The Las Vegas Raiders watched a former franchise head coach land a high-profile gig. Let alone someone with USC ties to Pete Carroll in Lane Kiffin — who landed at LSU Sunday .

Carroll once saw a 31-year-old Kiffin go from USC to the Raiders during a time they were in Oakland. He even got asked if he had any thought of watching Kiffin jam from Ole Miss and accept the offer from a rival.

“I don't have any opinion of what he did. I just talked to him the way I do normally,” Carroll answered via Nick Walters of Vegas Sports Today. “I've known him just about his whole life so that was just being there for him.”

Kiffin revealed he sought the advice of Carroll before he jumped at LSU's opportunity.
