Joseph Joe Scanella Signed AUTO 1977 Oakland Raiders NFL Football payroll Check
After playing college football at Lehigh back in the 1940s as their starting QB, he went into coaching. He worked his way up from high school to college, to the Canadian Football League before getting his first shot in the NFL as the special teams coach for the Oakland Raiders under head coach John Madden. He was a member of the coaching staff in 1976 when the Raiders defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI. He left the Raiders to become head coach of the Montreal Alouettes. Scannella coached the Alouettes from 1978 to 1981, finishing with a 28–28–2 record. Joe Scannella's Alouettes appeared in the 66th and 67th Grey Cups, losing both.
Scannella was Sam Rutigliano's running backs coach in Cleveland from 1982 to 1983 before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 1984. He was not retained by the new head coach Marty Schottenheimer following the 1984 season. In 1987, Scannella returned to the Raiders, who had by this time moved to Los Angeles, this time as the team's offensive backfield coach. Here he would coach two former Heisman Trophy winners Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson. After the 1988 season, he and quarterbacks coach Tom Walsh were fired by the head coach Mike Shanahan, but owner Al Davis refused to allow this and the two coaches stayed on. Joe Scannella retired from coaching in February 1994.
He passed away in 2018.
