OAKLAND RAIDERS AL DAVIS
COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
AL DAVIS
July 4, 1929 – Oct. 8, 2011
Al Davis, a true legend, was a maverick, a giant among giants, a
star among stars, a hero, a mentor and a friend.
When Davis passed away during the 2011 season, football
lost an innovator, a pioneer with a deep love and passion for
the game, a man who most assuredly will never be forgotten
or duplicated. A Pro Football Hall of Famer who arguably did
more to change the game than any other individual, Davis was
honored the day after his passing with a moment of silence at
every NFL stadium.
At one of those venues, Houston’s Reliant Stadium, Davis’
players took the field without his guidance for the first time in
17,710 days. And in one of so many franchise games for the
ages, this comeback featuring key contributions from three of
his first-round draft choices, the Raiders that day honored Da-
vis by doing what he cared about most – they won.
“Just win,” Davis once said. “Play hard. Try not to make mis-
takes, but don’t worry about mistakes because there’s only one
thing that counts: Just win.”
Before that win in Houston, Davis’ death spawned an overwhelming outpouring of statements from football executives, coaches
and players, past and present. A clear common thread in those expressions of remembrance was that anyone with any level of
affinity for football should acknowledge that the game would not be what it is without Davis.
That’s not just because Davis held the titles of general manager, head coach, league commissioner and principal owner, and led
the Raiders to more wins than any other team. The game would not be what it is because, through his unyielding efforts to build
the finest franchise in sports, Davis broke social barriers, creating opportunities for countless individuals, and cared selflessly about
people, treating them the way they wanted to be treated. No one has had a more profound and lasting impact on pro football.
SEEDS OF GENIUS
Had Davis remained in coaching, fellow innovator Bill Walsh once theorized, Davis would be considered one of the greatest coaches
of all-time.
On Jan. 15, 1963, the American Football League Raiders made a 33-year-old Davis the youngest general manager and head coach
in pro history. And before the budding genius called his first play, Davis took complete control over all phases of the franchise, in-
cluding changing Oakland’s uniform colors to silver and black, to resemble the great Army teams he had idolized during the 1940s,
and re-branded the Raiders into an image that is today instantly recognized worldwide.
“If there’s anything that we’ve done that I’m particularly proud of,” Davis recalled later in his life, “I would have to say the perpetu-
ation of the greatness of the Raiders; to take a professional football team and give it a distinct characteristic, that’s different from
all others.”
That characteristic in his first season on the Raiders sideline became forever linked to winning. Davis earned Coach of the Year
honors after leading the Raiders, 1-13 the season before, to the most significant year-to-year improvement in pro football history,
a 10-4 mark. Although he sacrificed his coaching career to become AFL Commissioner following the 1965 season, the profession
always remained important to him, partly because it served as the foundation for his contributions to football.
That foundation was first poured in his hometown, the borough of Brooklyn, N.Y., where he played basketball and learned some of
his unshakeable principles under Coach Al Badain at Erasmus Hall High School.
Davis graduated with a degree in English literature from Syracuse University, which later honored him with a Letterman of Distinc-
tion award, and shortly after, in 1950, launched his career as line coach at Adelphi College.

OAKLAND RAIDERS AL DAVIS
After entering the Army in 1952, Davis served as head football coach at Ft. Belvoir, Va. There, he molded a national power, finishing
with a win over Maryland, the reigning national champion.
Davis worked in the player personnel office of the Baltimore Colts for one year (1954), then spent two seasons (1955-56) as line
coach and chief recruiter at The Citadel, before becoming in 1957 the University of Southern California’s line coach.
His next job didn’t take him very far, moving across town from USC to the Los Angeles Chargers of the new AFL, but the move to
pro football was a major step. Hired by Sid Gillman in 1960 as the Chargers’ offensive ends coach, Davis helped the team to a pair
of division titles in just three years.
That rise gave Davis the opportunity to lead his own team in 1963. Several factors influenced his head-coach blueprints. In addition
to his coaching career, the precision of the Black Knights of the Hudson, their quickness and explosion with Doc Blanchard and
Glenn Davis, left an indelible impression on Davis growing up. He also took several chapters from another sport.
“As a young guy,” he said, “I had a dream that someday I would build the finest organization in professional sports. I had a lot of
thoughts on how I would do it. I had the inspiration of two great organizations when I was growing up.
“The Yankees to me personified the size of the players, power, the home run, and intimidation and fear. Very important character-
istics to me of what I thought a great team and a great organization should have. The Dodgers, under Branch Rickey, were totally
different in my mind. They represented speed. They represented development of players, a way of playing the game, the Dodger
way of playing the game. And I always thought that someone intelligent could take all the qualities, the great qualities of both, and
put them together and use them.”
In addition to those qualities, he also instilled in the Raiders tenets that were all his own, and in the process, he revolutionized pro football.
Offensively, Davis created the vertical game, now known as stretching the field.
“When we came out of the huddle,” he remembered about his Raiders, “we weren’t looking for first downs. We didn’t want to
move the chains. We wanted touchdowns. We wanted the big play, the quick strike. It’s No. 1 to say that you want to do that,
it’s No. 2 to say that you have the players to do it, but it’s No. 3 to do it. Do it on first down of any football game, on that defense
that you’re playing against. For those cornerbacks that play out there on the corners, to know that the Raiders are coming at you,
they’re coming at you on top, they’ve got the speed to do it, and they will do it. It’s like having the bomb and being willing to drop
it. The adage that goes around in professional football, and I hear everyone say it, ‘Take what they give you.’ That all sounds good
to everybody, but I always went the other way: We’re going to take what we want.”
On the other side of the line, Davis also wanted to attack, to put pressure on the pocket, and do more than just disrupt the offense
physically.
“I do believe that this is a game, psychologically, of intimidation and of fear. I don’t mean cowardly fear, but fear. I think this: That
somewhere within the first five to 10 plays of the game that the other team’s quarterback must go down, and he must go down
hard. That alone sets the tempo for a game.”
Once that tempo was established, taking a cue from college basketball, Davis was the first to utilize his cornerbacks in a bump-
and-run principle.
“We used to call it the press. We got the idea from John Wooden, when he had his great zone press, with his great basketball teams,
where they picked you up as soon as you took the ball out, and they pressured you. And we got the idea and called it press. And
then I think Don Shula started calling it bump-and-run, so we
changed to bump-and-run.”
Davis’ vision to see where the game was headed, or to pave
a new road to winning, led future successful coaches like Bill
Parcells and Bill Belichick to regard Davis as the NFL’s most in-
telligent individual.
From 1963-2002, the Raiders dominated pro football, posting
the game’s best cumulative won-loss record. Earning the mon-
iker “Team of the Decades,” the franchise posted 17 winning
seasons over an 18-year stretch from 1963-80. The Raiders
then posted 11 more winning campaigns from 1982-2002,
including double-digit wins in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1990, 1993,
2000, 2001 and 2002. All told under Davis, the Raiders won four
league championships -- Super Bowls XI, XV and XVIII and the
1967 AFL title.

FROM HEAD COACH TO COMMISSIONER, TO
MERGER
Persuaded by American Football League owners who viewed
him as the perfect person to lead their battle against the es-
tablished NFL, Davis reluctantly became league commissioner
on April 8, 1966. Remarkably, Davis would spend less than 16
weeks in that role, but the shots his administration fired during
that short period still reverberate today.
For the first half of the 1960s, the AFL and NFL fought a tena-
cious fight for college talent, but they battled with a significant
unwritten rule that veterans were off limits. A little more than a
month after Davis took office, the NFL’s New York Giants violated
that rule, signing veteran Buffalo kicker Pete Gogolak. As long-
time Raiders executive Al LoCasale remembered, the NFL took
a shot with a revolver and Davis shot back using a machine gun.
Davis passionately and strategically convinced AFL owners to go
after established NFL stars. In a short period, the AFL had signed
many of the NFL’s veteran playmakers, including the NFL’s lead-
ing passer John Brodie, and Roman Gabriel from the Los Angeles
Rams.
“We had about four or five quarterbacks all lined up,” Davis said. “Three or four of their other great players had already signed. It
was a preliminary strike to let them know what’s going to happen if they continue this.”
Within months, the two leagues had agreed to a merger that formed the league familiar to today’s fans, including as part of the
agreement a world championship game now known as the Super Bowl. Having served as the driving force behind that merger,
Davis resigned on July 25, 1966, returned to Oakland as head of football operations and purchased an interest in the franchise.
Davis, who became managing general partner in 1972, teamed with head-coach successors John Rauch, John Madden and Tom
Flores in building a stalwart that would become the league’s most successful franchise.
A CHAMPION OF DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY
A trailblazer, Davis innovated not only how the game was played and coached, but also changed who held those roles, opening
countless doors for qualified individuals, regardless of skin color.
Davis was 17 when, a short distance from his home, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. Shortly after,
at Syracuse, Davis befriended Bernie Custis, who would fight racism and become pro football’s first black quarterback. At USC, he
convinced future Pro Football Hall of Famer Willie Wood to remain at the school as the Trojans’ quarterback. Wood and Ron Mix
became the school’s first interracial co-captains, and Davis helped Mix understand how athletics could serve as a leader in ushering
needed social change.
With the Chargers, Davis teamed with Gillman to lead the fight for equality. In addition to refusing to stay at segregated team ho-
tels, the team, inspired by Davis, recruited players from black programs, creating what Eddie Robinson called a new day for players
of color and giving them a sense of belonging in the American Football League.
Later that decade, Davis brought to the Raiders guard Gene Upshaw and tackle Art Shell, eventual Hall of Famers. Upshaw and
Shell joked that a convention of pro football’s black offensive linemen could be held in a phone booth. But Davis gave them an
opportunity, and Upshaw said he never experienced racism on the Raiders because Davis would never tolerate it.
And neither would Davis tolerate discrimination at the game’s most important position. A year after Upshaw as a rookie helped the
Raiders to an AFL championship, Davis in 1968 made Eldridge Dickey the first African-American quarterback ever selected in the
first round. Again, Davis cared about one thing: Winning.
“We called it an untapped reservoir,” Davis recalled. “We wanted to win. We wanted the players. We weren’t interested in who
they were, or exactly where they came from. I’ve always said, it’s not important to be consistent; it’s important to be right. It was
done because it was right and fair, and to help the team win, and continue to win.
“The Raiders did become a proving ground for great minority players. I think it was an evolution, an evolution of equity and fairness,
and we hope that’s one legacy we leave.”
Another legacy Davis left was hiring in 1989 the NFL’s first African-American head coach, Shell. Davis told Shell the reason he hired
him was not because he was black, but because he was the best available candidate for the job, and because he was a Raider. Upon
winning his coaching debut, Shell had to remind reporters that he was not the game’s first minority head coach. A decade before,
Davis had hired Tom Flores to lead the Raiders to two Super Bowl victories. Additionally, Davis later made Amy Trask the NFL’s first
female chief executive.

OAKLAND RAIDERS AL DAVIS
THE RAIDER MYSTIQUE
To Davis, shattering barriers wasn’t only about race or gender. He defined it on a larger scale, by creating an environment that
allowed any individual the chance to succeed, and in the process fostered a unique brotherhood.
“The fire that burns brightest in me,” Davis said, “and the fire that burns brightest in this organization is the will to win.”
That philosophy evolved the Raiders’ locker room into an us-versus-them mentality, a group that like its owner valued being feared
more than respected. Davis brought in mavericks and molded them into champions, a group of rugged and colorful individualists
that carried Davis’ torch with swagger and intimidation.
Many of the players that won for the Raiders were rejected by other teams. But Davis did not treat them like misfits. He treated
them like men, and those men brought him three Super Bowl titles and dominated the league like no other team.
“We may take a player in who doesn’t have good social habits, or has been a failure somewhere else,” Davis explained. “But it’s
predicated on bringing them into an environment, that can inspire them the will to do great, and they have done great.”
A BELIEF IN HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE
Part of Davis’ ability to acquire the right players and put them in an environ-
ment that bred success was his belief in how to deal with people. Davis al-
ways said that the Golden Rule was not good enough.
“When you have to lead men, you don’t do unto others as you would have
others do unto you,” Davis said. “You do unto them, in a paramilitary situ-
ation, as they want to be done unto. You have to treat them the way they
want to be treated.”
That way of treating people led friends and former players to remember Da-
vis as the epitome of loyalty. And in turn, he showed the rest of the NFL how
to treat former players. Of all the awards he received, the recognition from
men that played the game meant the most to Davis. In 1997, the NFL Alumni
inducted Davis into the Order of the Leather Helmet, a lifetime-achievement
award. Six years earlier, the NFL Players Association honored Davis with its
inaugural Retired Players Award of Excellence, citing the care he had shown
players long after they retired.
“I feel we’re one of the last bastions of hope, as a team image, as a team
organization,” Davis explained. “I don’t want to give that up with the Raiders.
We believe in tradition. We believe in the glory. We believe in the debt we
owe to our players from the past.”
No question, the way Davis treated people led to a record nine Hall of Famers asking him to present them in Canton, Ohio, at their
induction ceremonies, an exceptional fact that exists nowhere else in sports, and speaks volumes of Davis’ compassion for others.
In 1992, Davis earned his own enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and for the first time stood at the familiar podium
after someone else – his most successful Raiders coach, Madden – had introduced him. Davis took the opportunity to look back
on the team that mirrored his life.
“Enshrinement is a reflection of a life’s work, a reflection of a love affair with the greatest game the world has ever known. This
honor is a testament to a great organization, and to all the capable people that have poured their talent and enthusiasm and loyalty
into the greatness of the Raiders, and the Raiders legend and mystique.”
