Just Jack Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Al was the only person ever to serve as the head coach, GM and owner of a team. We all remember the creepy zombie look of his later years, but Al was a GIANT in the AFL and NFL, right up there with Ralph. Al was coach of the Raiders from 1963 to 1965. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/DaviAl0.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) He borrowed money from Ralph (which he never paid backto stop them from folding in the early 60s, them moved the team to LA. Their motto is commitment to excrement. Edited December 26, 2014 by Wacka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Isn't his son the owner now. He wants to honor his fathers memory. Makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 You think they'll extinguish it when the Raiders move back to LA? No. Transporting it will be like a scene out of "Quest for Fire." I take they will pick three of their best Neanderthal Raiders fans to move it.

We all remember the creepy zombie look of his later years, but Al was a GIANT in the AFL and NFL, right up there with Ralph. What about George Halas? Not sure if he served as GM, but he was owner, head coach. Wasn't he a player too? Maybe I am getting him confused w/Curly Lambeau. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
