Al Davis suggested in 1997 that Carol would succeed him should he no longer be able to run the Raiders franchise.[3] He repeated this in 2006,[4] and when asked in 2007 who would succeed him, Al Davis again confirmed his intention that Carol would take his place, claiming that then general manager Ron Wolf was "very close to Carol."[5]
