Coach Pete Carroll Sparks Controversy With Pre-Game Jab at Dak Prescott: “Go Home and Pour a Drink With Your Wife — Your Time’s Over”

Las Vegas, NV – November 15, 2025 – The Week 11 showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders just got a whole lot hotter — and it’s not because of the weather in Nevada.

In a shocking twist ahead of Sunday’s highly anticipated matchup, Raiders head coach Pete Carroll reportedly threw a fiery verbal jab at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, igniting a wave of controversy across the NFL.

Pete Carroll Reportedly 'Kicked Through a Whiteboard, Smashing It' Before  Raiders Game

According to multiple practice-field witnesses, Carroll was overheard telling his staff during preparations:

“Tell Dak to go home and pour a drink with his wife. His time’s over.”

The remark, intended as a private motivational outburst, did not stay private for long. The moment it leaked, social media exploded — instantly turning the pre-game energy into a full-scale rivalry storm.

Cowboys fans called it “classless.”
Raiders fans called it “elite trash talk.”
Neutral fans? Simply grabbed popcorn.

ESPN analysts said the comment could be Carroll’s attempt to “get into Prescott’s head” before kickoff — especially with Dallas entering the week under pressure after inconsistent offensive performances.

One Raiders defensive player, speaking under anonymity, added:

“Coach is fired up. He wants this win. He wants Dak uncomfortable before he even steps on the field.”

Prescott, on the other hand, refused to engage in the drama during Friday’s media availability:

“I’m focused on football. People can talk. We’ll settle everything on Sunday.”

But inside league circles, the timing of Carroll’s trash talk is raising eyebrows. The veteran coach is known for his energy, competitive fire, and occasional mic-slip moments, but this might be his boldest pre-game swipe in years.

Fans are now calling this matchup “the grudge game we didn’t know we needed.”

If the tension was high before, it’s officially boiling now — and both teams know the stakes just skyrocketed.
