John Madden: The Quintessential Raider 

I came and watched this after his passing.. he is and always will be a leggendaryyy football master !!

Best coach the Raiders ever had..the man was a football encyclopedia

On The Raiders defence: "We didn't win every game, we didn't shut out everyone, we didn't stop everyone, but, when you walked off the field, you knew you'd been in a game. I mean you didn't go dancing that night."

RIP John. You are the definition of a Raider. You helped build the brand that they are. Most winningest Raider coach in history.

When I look back at the the Raiders' mystic, I have three names: Al Davis, Ken Stabler and the great John Madden. Mr. Madden thansk for all the memories.

"Dont worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon". ---John Madden

RIP to a Legend

John Madden defines what it means to be a true Raider. Thank you for changing the game of football as well as bringing the best out of everyone with the All-Madden teams. The legacy that you have left on Earth will never be forgotten. Rest in paradise, Mr. Madden.

What makes me sad, The Snake Stabler, Then Cliffiord Branch and now John Madden. Makes me sad because I looked up to those 70s Raider teams. Yes, we all gotta go sometime. Madden will never be forgotten.

Broke the mold. God, watch over him. John, say “Hi” to Summerall and Stabler for us. RIP, Legend 🙏

"BOOM"!! and than he's gone. As a life-long Raider so long to a legend. John Madden, epitome of "The days of the Autumn Wind is a Raider". With Pat Summerall the best duo in sports broadcast commentary ever!

Greatest coach ever. Greatest football commentator ever. Greatest video game creator ever. Some people only get to do one thing - he did 1M things, did them so well and loved every minute of it. RIP Coach.

Loved John Madden. Those Raiders teams were absolutely awesome.

He will be missed. He will always be a Oakland Raider to me. RIP.

I love his initial play description. That's exactly how I used to always get a seat on the train going home after work.

I'm a 49er fan but I loved John. He will be missed by so many. Rip John. I hope God is listening to you intently describing the game.😪

Best coach in nfl history thats a fact

The greatest coach the mighty Oakland Raiders have ever seen. Once a Raider, always a Raider.

Yeah, watching this today got me emotional. I'm not old enough to have seen him as a coach, but I literally grew up listening to him every fall weekend. Boom! I still miss hearing him and Summerall.

The true GOAT !!!!!!!!!!!! RIP John.. thanks for the memories.

Rest In Peace Coach John Madden.

The autumn wind is a Raider...and John madden helped make the raiders that autumn wind. Thank you John Rest In Peace. Go Let Pat fix your tie one more time.

The Autumn wind is a raider... Hearing that always reminds me of Coach Madden. Thanks for the memories

RIP John Madden

Rip John Madden

Rip John Madden 1936-2021

Absolutely loved this game!

This has been a real tough year as a Raider fan. The garbage that is going on with the team this season and now this. While the Madden games are far from their glory now, I still remembered the fun times and hours spent on Madden 03. Also great theater to watch him commentate games with Pat and Al in recent years, it still doesn't feel that long ago when I last heard him in the Super Bowl game with the Cardinals and Steelers. Damn and that doesn't even take into account of his influence as Raiders coach. Another great and recent HOFer Tom Flores came after him but John was still the gold standard. RIP, you were and ARE still the quintessential Raider.

Rest easy big guy! John “BOOM” Madden. When I think of football I think of Madden. His video games are still relevant today. What a legend!

Rip legend

John Madden is football and man we miss him.🏉

Was born in the east bay, watched the city of Oakland become Championship Central from 1972-1977. The only story that brings a bigger joyful tear to the eye than the story of John Madden is that of Jim Plunkett in 1980. Rest in Peace coach...and watch the language with God, ok?

Super Bowls never seemed the same after he left . Rip Boom !

John Madden could thank in a way the Buffalo Bills for his chance to coach the Raiders. After the loss to the Jets in the 1968 AFL Championship Raiders then-coach John Rauch resigned to take over the HC job with the Bills. Al Davis decided to hire Madden as he had come up through the organization. Rauch balked at the interference of Davis in the day-to-day coaching decisions and left for Buffalo (where he would have to deal with another "control freak" in Bills owner Ralph Wilson). Madden in fact got along very well with Al Davis and the team went on to be very successful and ultimately to win the SB in the 1976 season

Rip coach Madden we love you.......go raiders forever

A Mans Man.

There is no raiders without Al, heck there’s no nfl as it is today without Al, but the raiders wouldnt be as we know them without John. Coach you were one of the greats!

Never had a losing season ever! now that says a lot, in the National Football League..

Legend.

John madden is the best coach he made is own video game

RIP PARADISE KING Thank You For Making The Raiders Great JUST WIN BABY

Rip coach

He was good. He was good. There is nothing more you can say about a man than that. He was good. And he has left a hole that no other person can fill. God bless you John.

One of the top if not The Best NFL football coaches of All Time.

R.I.P 🐐

10 seasons: 10 winning seasons 8 playoff appearances 7 division championships 7 AFC/AFL Championship Game appearances (1-6) 1 AFC Championship/Super Bowl appearance (1-0) 1 Super Bowl Championship ** 7-1 playoff record in the AFC/AFL Divisional Round (only loss was on the Immaculate Reception)

Never had a single season under .500 . Truly a legend calling plays

Coach...please do one more turkey for the Raider game this Thanksgiving. Some of the best Thanksgivings ever...please Coach...one more.

Rip the legend

he was good funny tough and smart will be missed by all who knew him

John Madden: is Riders football!!!

I am a newer fan. Never knew why the game is named after him. Go Raiders!

R.I.P. John Madden... 😭

Many of us only dreamed of what he accomplished. But if you played at any level this is the greatest sport in the world because it prepares you for the toughest game of all life.

RIP JOHN MADDEN

Rip coach madden you and Mr. Davis go coach a hell of a team up there

Will never be another one like him.

He was the vince Lombardi of the AFL

American icon. Transcended football.

"Boom!!".....Nothing more need be said. RIP John

Happy birthday 🎉

R.I.P

RIP coach Madden

RIP LEGEND.

🙌🏾🙏🏾

Rip

What any true Raider would give for 10 winning seasons right now or for the last 20 years. We lost our father figure our hero today may he RIP.

WE MISS U MADDEN 😉💙

🐐

RIP John Madden!!

GOD rest his soul.

I want a coach that is this good for the Bengals. I care about this team just as much as Madden cared about the Raiders if I had the money and it was and option I would put my money were my mouth is by becoming a majority owner of the team I CARE about this team very much.

You can’t mention football without John Madden…… literally a household name and I was born in 95

R.I.P. Coach!

Everyone call us trash now. But remember if we didn't have the raiders we wouldn't have madden today. Football games would he totally different.

Best head coach in NFL history and he let his quarterback at offensive coordinator call the plays not like these yo-yos head coaches today

Great one, he was🏈

Rest Easy Mad. You may be gone forever, but your game will last forever.

Best coach of all time facts

“Don’t worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon” RIP Coach.

Who else is here for some RIP nostalgia?

John madden is the greatest coach

Fly high coach madden 🕊

RIP 😔

To honor coach, the Raiders should go out opening day in all black with silver trim. Black Helmets, black jersey, black pants with silver numbers and logo. That would be awesome.

R.I.P John Madden, may you be a great leader in Heaven 🙏 always.

Football without Madden is just, Foot. God bless John Madden.
