Pro Football Weekly: Raiders head coach Art Shell sounds off on several topics
By Trent Modglin
For those who don’t believe you can ever truly come home again, meet Art Shell. After a stellar playing career that saw him win two Super Bowls and be named to eight Pro Bowls as an offensive tackle for the Raiders, Shell would eventually be named head coach of the franchise in 1989, becoming only the second African American to hold such a title in league history. He compiled a 56-41 overall record and was named Coach of the Year in 1990 after going 12-4 and reaching the AFC title game. But after a 9-7 mark in 1994, owner Al Davis let Shell go, a move Davis has always regretted.
Shell went on to hold assistant coaching positions with the Chiefs and Falcons before serving as the senior vice president for football operations and development for the NFL. When the Raiders were rebuffed by Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino and Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt for their coaching vacancy, Davis dialed the number of an old friend, who returned to coaching for the first time since 2000.
