    Damn, this one hurts. :(
    My dad took me to my first Raider game in '74. Had season tickets the rest of the decade so I got to witness his final game coaching against Minnesota in '78.

    • 112-39-7 record in ten seasons of coaching.

    • 73.1% all-time winning percentage including playoffs. Ranks second all-time behind Vince Lombardi (74%).

    • Never had a losing season.

    • Youngest ever coach to reach 100 victories, achieved during the era of 14-game schedules. Retired at age 42.

    • Had winning records against every Hall of Fame coach he faced:
    2-0 vs Sid Gillman
    2-0 vs Marv Levy
    3-0 vs Weeb Ewbank
    1-0 vs George Allen
    3-1 vs Bud Grant
    7-4-2 vs Hank Stram
    1-0 vs Tom Landry
    5-3 vs Paul Brown
    4-3 vs Don Shula
    6-5 vs Chuck Noll
