Tom Flores – Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders
Taking over the Raiders from John Madden meant Tom Flores was in the hot seat as soon as he accepted the job. He excelled under pressure, taking the Raiders to two Super Bowls and winning both. Even more impressive, he didn’t have a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Do you remember the name Jim Plunkett? The average at best quarterback had failed his way out of New England before landing with Flores in Oakland. The pair won their first championship there, and another two years later when the team relocated to Los Angeles.
