‘The Last Dance’: 5 Raiders who deserve their own documentary
By Nick Ellis
Tom Flores
Tom Flores is the owner of a ton of “firsts” in the National Football League. Flores was the first Hispanic quarterback and first minority head coach to win a Super Bowl. Flores was also one of only two people to win a Super Bowl as a player, head coach, and assistant coach.
Flores had a successful career as a player, but most of his success came as the head coach for the Raiders from 1979-1987. Flores was a three-time Super Bowl champion, winning Super Bowl XI as an assistant coach, and Super Bowls XV and XVIII as a head coach.
The fact that Flores is not in the Hall of Fame is a travesty, and maybe a documentary on his incredible life would bring light to the fact that he should be in there. You could run an episode just on that fact, as he was the quintessential pioneer in NFL circles.

The history of the Raiders is a storied one, and you could have a ton of people that would qualify for a ten-part documentary. However, these five men have incredible backstories inside and outside of the game, and would keep the viewers on the edge of their seats, much like The Last Dance did.
