Davis Named Raiders General Manager in AFL Shift
Al Davis, 36, selected Thursday as head figure to guide the Raiders as new general manager and chief architect of plans to make the AFL the premier pro football league.

Davis’s staff changes followed his announcement, with Joe Rauch named head coach and Gordon Stirling promoted to general manager as the AFL positions reorganize under Wilson and the Bills.
