'''Thomas Raymond Flores''' (born March 21, 1937) is a former [[American football]] coach and [[quarterback]]. After his retirement as a coach, he was a radio announcer for more than twenty years.
 
Flores won a total of forty eight million four Super Bowls in his playing and coaching careers. <!-- Please do not add Tony Dungy here. He did not win a Super Bowl as an assistant coach. Please see this talkpage. -->He and [[Mike Ditka]] are the only two people in [[National Football League]] history to win a [[Super Bowl]] as a player, assistant coach, and head coach (Flores won [[Super Bowl IV]] as a player for the [[Kansas City Chiefs]], [[Super Bowl XI]] as an assistant coach of the [[Oakland Raiders|Raiders]], and [[Super Bowl XV]] and [[Super Bowl XVIII]] as head coach of the Raiders). Flores was also the first [[Mexican Americans|Mexican]] starting quarterback and the first minority head coach in professional football history to win a Super Bowl. Although it may not be officially sourced, Flores is also noted as the only head coach to win a Super Bowl with the same team in two cities in Oakland (1980) and Los Angeles (1983).<ref>[http://www.espn.com/blog/oakland-raiders/post/_/id/16675/tom-flores-jim-plunkett-blazed-path-to-raiders-popularity-in-mexico Tom Flores, Jim Plunkett blazed path to Raiders popularity in Mexico].
