The Raiders have a storied history with several legendary head coaches, including Al Davis, John Madden, Tom Flores, Art Shell, and Jon Gruden. These figures have contributed to the team’s success and its three Super Bowl victories. However, one coach who did not meet expectations was Mike Shanahan.
Shanahan became the head coach of the Los Angeles Raiders before the 1988 NFL season. He was hired by Al Davis after Tom Flores retired following two Super Bowl wins. Shanahan was seen as a promising offensive strategist expected to lead the team to success.
Unfortunately for the Raiders, Shanahan’s tenure did not go as planned. His time with the team was marked by struggles and challenges that prevented him from maintaining the franchise’s high standards.
