The Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders were a charter member of the American
Football League in 1960. The Raiders' image was synonymous
with the AFL's: brash and bold. Starting out as a poor
franchise with a weak team playing in Frank Youell Field,
towards the end of the 1960s it became an AFL powerhouse
and one of professional football's most consistent teams.
The franchise is tied with the Dallas Texans/Kansas
City Chiefs for the most post-season games played as
an AFL team, six.
The team spent its first three seasons changing stadiums
and losing more games than it won. Al Davis, a former
assistant coach for the San Diego Chargers, was hired
as head coach and general manager in 1963. He reorganized
the Raiders, and the team improved to a 10-4 won-loss
record. Four years later, the club captured the 1967
AFL Championship. Clem Daniels, Billy Cannon, Hoot Gibson,
Art Powell and Daryle Lamonica were among many great
players to wear the "silver and black", to
be joined in 1967 by AFL legend George Blanda at the
start of his nine-year career with the Raiders. In 1966,
Davis became Commissioner of the AFL and is considered
a driving force in raising the AFL to competitive levels
that forced the NFL to merge with the younger league.
The Raiders appeared in Super Bowl II (the first of
five Super Bowls) in 1968 but lost to the NFL champion
Green Bay Packers. In 1970, the AFL- NFL merger took
place, and the Raiders joined the West Division of the
American Football Conference in the newly merged National
Football League.
In 1969, John Madden became the team's head coach,
and during the 1970s he helped start the Raiders' ascent
towards their current status as one of the most successful
franchises in NFL history, starting with their 1977
Super Bowl XI win over the Minnesota Vikings. In spite
of his success, Madden left coaching in 1979 to pursue
a career as a television football commentator.
