It's been too long for this happening. A total disrespect to Tom and Raider nation that it took this long. Congratulations Tom! Much love from Raider Nation.
This is absolutely long overdue for the 🧊iceman & Hall of Fame coach Tom Flores. Congratulations on the 2-time Super Bowl 🏈Champion Head Coach and now the Hall of Fame head coach.
People forget just how good the early 80s Raiders teams were. The 1983 team is so underrated, that team was just stacked and very well coached as well.
In the Superbowl, they held the #1 scoring team in NFL history to 9 points (until the 98 Vikings broke the Redskins scoring record) in an era when teams could play defense. Haynes and Hayes on the corners were awesome. You're right, they are so underrated. I remember watching their games. Damn... I"m getting old. :)
It’s the other way around Howie Long was double & triple teamed that let Greg Townsend open but I do agree that Greg Townsend also belongs in Canton and also Plunkett ,Branch , Lester Hayes ,Phil Villapiano , Jack Tatum , George Atkinson ,Henry Lawrence & Dave Dalby both have the three super bowl victories like Cliff Branch , Steve Weisnuski , Don Mosebar , Matt Millen , Rod Martin
@@elamenaza7595 valid point valid point Those are all great Raiders I'm a little biased towards Greg Townsend he's one of my all-time favorite Players I really wish Terry McDaniel would get more credit
The first quarterback in Raiders history and later the head coach of the Raiders after John Madden retired. Those were big shoes to fill but he did great. Congratulations Tom. Well deserved.
Congratulations Tom Flores finally a Latino in the Hall of Fame now we're waiting for Jim Plunkett to make it to the hall of fame another Latino I am very happy and proud to see coach Tom Flores make it to the hall of fame
Player , coach , broadcaster ; great in all his roles . His voice was like watching syrup being poured. Raider through and through. Hope to hear his voice again on the radio .
He came to my jr high school in1984 a few months after super bowl victory vs redskins , Marcus Allen & Dokie Williams also gave us a poster of the whole team
If anybody deserves that gold jacket it is him for sure it should have happened long time ago but I am glad he is alive to receive that honor. Great job coach you deserve everything.
That’s right not a lot of people know that the raiders started practicing in Santa Cruz. Thanks for mentioning that coach that’s special to me wish I knew exactly where they practiced at. Being not to far from there in Watsonville.
So that make him less Hispanic? You must be from another state! Lot's of people young and old from California and that are full Mexican don't speak Spanish. Older people because they were looked down apon because they did speak it and younger people weren't taught because of things there parents went through. Should be proud of any person let a loan a Hispanic persons that succeeded in there profession and this man was the first in alot of catalogs. If he was black he would of had a 60 for 60 or a movie.
@@jamestheorine3510 Tom Flores is in the Hall of Fame because of his performance not because of his heritage you judge a man on his character not his color
Hey white guy stay in your lane. Love when people have know idea what their saying and take other people's thoughts out of context! Your probably a guy that wears a black lives matter t-shirt and has never spoke to 1. Have a good year and stop trolling the internet. Stay on pornhub! And for all he has done is the reason his people should know what he has done. Someone with the same heritage should know and appreciate! Thank you for your time.
@@jamestheorine3510 the real reason why it took Tom Flores so long to get into Hall of Fame was John Madden John Madden was the person that has been blocking Tom Flores from the Hall of Fame for all of these years right now John Madden really doesn't know where he's at his brain it's not functioning if you've noticed you haven't seen an appearance by John Madden in a very long time
Congratulations tom flores on your induction to the nfl hall of fame way over due...as a young kid. I admired your work as coach ..i do remember. Very clearly the nfl didnt have any latino coaches .. You were the only. One .as i recalled..well deserved .you were a raider. Quarterback and. Raider coach....and also a general manager in the nfl.....wow...tom flores. Amazing..thank you coach flores...sincerely abel de la rosa
Coach Tom Flores should been pro football hall of fame long time ago well he in now congrats coach you deserve it thank you for all you have done for Raider Nation RN4L
Played at UOP , big power back in 50’s and 60’s . Stockton Ca , kinda back door to Sf Bay . Dropped football, but stadium serviced as practice field for 49ers .
Carlos was football version of rocker ; Climbed the downspout to second floor window to rock concert promoter ..... Desire to perform ! He got the Woodstock gig
1NATION to bad the freaking NFL hates the RAAAIDERSSSS!!!! This humble of a person should've been in the HOF very loooooong X ago. Every Raiders fan knws this. Congrats TM long over due well deserved 👏🏆🏆🏆
Think he was a little overshadowed by Madden, even though he won two Super Bowls to Madden's one his 1980 squad was still mostly Madden's team. The '83 Raiders were mostly his though. One great coach following another great coach.
Jim Plunkett , Cliff Branch , Lester Hayes , Jack Tatum , George Atkinson ,Phil Villiapiano ,Henry Lawrence , Dave Dalby , Matt Millen ,Rod Martin, Greg Townsend , Steve Weisnuski ,Don Mosebar all belong in Canton !!! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
A true inspiration for us Latinos -Tom Flores

It's been too long for this happening. A total disrespect to Tom and Raider nation that it took this long. Congratulations Tom! Much love from Raider Nation.

Branch, Plunkett, Tatum, Hayes, and the great BO JACKSON need to be next inductees to the HOF.
The next great Raider that should be in the Hall of Fame is number 93 the Greg Greg Townsend with over a hundred sacks in the NFL
Cliff Branch?
@@Shield60 you are correct...I forgot him! good catch..thanks!
True, I agree, just Bo didnt play the years needed to be eligible and I believe it's 5?
Not sure if they can add Bo into the HOF, didn't play long enough
This is absolutely long overdue for the 🧊iceman & Hall of Fame coach Tom Flores. Congratulations on the 2-time Super Bowl 🏈Champion Head Coach and now the Hall of Fame head coach.

Even Al Davis said the 1983 group was the best Raider team of all. He should know.
The great number 93 Greg Townsend should be in the Hall of Fame he has over 100 sacks he made Howie Long the player he was
It’s the other way around Howie Long was double & triple teamed that let Greg Townsend open but I do agree that Greg Townsend also belongs in Canton and also Plunkett ,Branch , Lester Hayes ,Phil Villapiano , Jack Tatum , George Atkinson ,Henry Lawrence & Dave Dalby both have the three super bowl victories like Cliff Branch , Steve Weisnuski , Don Mosebar , Matt Millen , Rod Martin

Ya, Townsend was dominate and awesome.
💯
@@elamenaza7595 your right.
All this players were a good influence for long and lets not forget that alzado made him tougher! ☺👍

Played at UOP , big power back in 50’s and 60’s . Stockton Ca , kinda back door to Sf Bay .
Dropped football, but stadium serviced as practice field for 49ers .
That was an exciting time 70s. 80s love my Raiders love my coach. PLUNKETT UR NEXT .
Still waiting on Lester Hayes & Cliff Branch.
It’s really frustrating how they aren’t in the hall of fame. They are both deserving of that accomplishment.
Carlos was football version of rocker ;
Climbed the downspout to second floor window to rock concert promoter .....
Desire to perform ! He got the Woodstock gig
Tom Flores is starting to look and sound like Al Davis
One coach missing from that hall of fame coaches list . The Godfather Al Davis 👍🏻
1NATION to bad the freaking NFL hates the RAAAIDERSSSS!!!! This humble of a person should've been in the HOF very loooooong X ago. Every Raiders fan knws this. Congrats TM long over due well deserved 👏🏆🏆🏆

Plunkett is smart , Stanford grad .

Think he was a little overshadowed by Madden, even though he won two Super Bowls to Madden's one his 1980 squad was still mostly Madden's team. The '83 Raiders were mostly his though. One great coach following another great coach.
Jim Plunkett , Cliff Branch , Lester Hayes , Jack Tatum , George Atkinson ,Phil Villiapiano ,Henry Lawrence , Dave Dalby , Matt Millen ,Rod Martin, Greg Townsend , Steve Weisnuski ,Don Mosebar all belong in Canton !!! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I wish we could get Lester Hayes in now
