John Madden (right) was head coach of the Oakland Raiders for ten seasons.

There have been 15 head coaches for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). The Raiders franchise was founded in Oakland, California in 1959 and became the eighth member of the American Football League (AFL) in 1960 as a replacement for the Minnesota Vikings, who had moved to the NFL. The Raiders joined the NFL in 1970, after the AFL–NFL merger. They played in Los Angeles between 1982 and 1995, before returning to Oakland.[1] As of the end of the 2008 season, the Raiders have played over 750 games in a total of 48 seasons in the AFL and NFL.[2] In those games, two coaches have won the Super Bowl with the team: John Madden in 1976 and Tom Flores in 1980 and 1983. One coach, John Rauch in 1966, has won the AFL Championship.[3] Three other coaches, Art Shell, Jon Gruden and Bill Callahan, have also taken the Raiders to the playoffs.[4] Callahan led the Raiders to the Super Bowl. He did this in his first year as head coach of the team.[5]

Shell is the only coach to have more than one tenure with the team, and Flores and Shell are the only coaches to coach the team in both Oakland and Los Angeles. The worst coach statistically in Raiders history is Red Conkright, with a winning percentage of .111,[6] and Rauch is statistically the best, with a winning percentage of .805. However, the all-time leader in both games coached and wins is Madden, with 142 and 103 respectively.[2] Of the 15 Raiders coaches, Madden is also the only Raiders coach to be a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, having been inducted in 2005. Two coaches, Flores and Shell, are also former players for the Raiders. Shell was also inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1989, but as a player.[4][7] The most recent head coach of the Raiders was Hue Jackson, who replaced Tom Cable after he was fired on January 4, 2011.[8][9] Jackson was himself fired on January 10, 2012 after one season in charge.[10]
