Davis has always been controversial — mostly due to the fact that he was unafraid. He did whatever it took to make the Raiders winners. He didn’t care about much else.

Davis’ time with the Raiders began in 1963. That year, he was the coach and GM and was named the AFL’s best coach. His many roles in football included coach, GM, scout, assistant coach, team owner and even AFL commissioner.

There’s no doubt that Davis will be missed. His passion for football will leave a void that can’t be filled.
