In his first year with the organization, Raiders legend Al Davis, formerly a receivers coach with the San Diego Chargers, replaced the team's original gold and black uniforms with the current "silver and black" scheme.
Under his leadership as head coach and general manager, the Raiders stunned the rest of the AFL by winning ten games.
They finished with a record of 10–4, which was good for second place in the Western Division, one game behind the eventual AFL champion Chargers, whom they had defeated twice.
For his role in the Raiders' miraculous turnaround, Al Davis was named the AFL's "Coach of the Year".
