Madden Saw Himself as a Coach

Whenever I am inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, people always ask me if I am a coach, broadcaster, or video game guy.

“I’ve been a coach my whole life.”

During his tenure with the Raiders, he became the youngest head coach in pro football, leading them to victory against the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI and finishing his career with a 103-32-7 record.

His winning percentage is the highest among all coaches who have won at least 100 games.

The Madden name became synonymous with pro football thanks to his contributions to Monday Night Football, the annual Madden All-Madden Team, and the Madden NFL video game series, the Raiders said in a statement about his passing.
