His 1976 Super Bowl Championship team was amazing!  His Raiders teams were dominant in the 60s and 70s.  Still a lot of his players around, many of them are Hall of Famers.  Hope they get to speak at his memorial service.

RIP John

Madden gained fame in a decade-long stint as the coach of the renegade Oakland Raiders, making it to seven AFC title games and winning the Super Bowl following the 1976 season. He compiled a 103-32-7 regular-season record, and his .759 winning percentage is the best among NFL coaches with more than 100 games.

R.I.P. John Madden. His passing gives me a deep feeling of sadness. Madden to me represented what football is all about. He was a living legend as a coach, announcer and all round football commentator. Plus, he had a great love of the sport,its players and fans. He will truly be missed.

Oh yeah, John Madden was the best in his day.

Raiders were the winningest team (of all the teams in professional sports) back in Madden's time.

As a Panthers fan it is jaw dropping to view the Raiders W/L record for their first 25 years in comparison to our own.

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
