machine gun kelly Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Marv was a good coach, and some of these negative comments may be from young guys who were not old enough to appreciate what he did accomplish. From 88-99 we went to the playoffs most years. Granted Levy was here through 96, but he created a very dynamic team. It was his vision for the no huddle offense. Yes, Polian gave Marv tremendous talent, with excellent lines on both sides, HOF RB, QB, WR (Lofton and I consider Reed HOF). For the moron who said Parcells was nothing without Belichek is just that. parcels not only won 2 Superbowls with Belicheck, he turned around a 1-15 Jets team to the playoffs, turned around a poor Patriots team, turned around a poor Dallas team, and so on. He's one of the best coaches of all time. I don't hate the guy because he out coached Marv in 25. Don't rewrite hx. Those were fantastic Bills teams, and be proud of it. I know we're going to get back to greatness one of these days, and eventually win the championship.
K-9 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Never liked Levy after his anti hunting remarks. Stick with football butt wipe. I believe it was Kent Hull [God bless em] who showed up at the next players meeting in full hunting camo to show the old fart what he thought about it. IIRC, he said he didn't see the "sport" in it. That's anti-hunting? GO BILLS!!!
Jim in Anchorage Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 IIRC, he said he didn't see the "sport" in it. That's anti-hunting? GO BILLS!!! Yes. Doubt if the man would live one day in the woods alone. If you don't know any thing about a subject don't go offering your opinion on it.
ganesh Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 For the moron who said Parcells was nothing without Belichek is just that. parcels not only won 2 Superbowls with Belicheck, he turned around a 1-15 Jets team to the playoffs, turned around a poor Patriots team, turned around a poor Dallas team, and so on.

I know we're going to get back to greatness one of these days, and eventually win the championship. The 1-15 turnaround also included Belichek as the DC. In Dallas, Parcells had the luxury of another great DC in Wade Phillips. Finally, his stint in Miami showed that he was indeed missing those key parts. Having said that, I would like to state that, NFL is the ultimate team sport and it requires all of them (53 players and the many Coaches) and excellent players at skill positions to put out a winning program. I don't think any one is rewriting history. Parcells was another good HC in the NFL.
mrags Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Yes. When he tells me I [and many others] are cowardly sackless killers. He wasn't just not interested in hunting he made it a point to tell every one what backward scum hunters are. Did that bother me? Yes. He put out some very ignorant uninformed statements on a subject that he knew nothing about and no one asked him about. Go back to you're ivory tower Marv. Read some poetry. in staying out of it this time. A ban and warning point has straightened me right out. Honestly, you people do not know what you're talking about. You were either too young to watch Marv as a coach or you're so disgusted with Bills football of the last 12 years that you're just ragging on everyone. I think too many people discount how good of a coach he was because of his lackluster outing as a GM. Marv was a great coach!!!! Do you really think it is just a fluke that he is in the HOF and still considered one of the 20 best of all time? Oh right, it's just because he got lucky to have great players... What about Shula having Unitas, Griese, and Marino Or Jimmy Johnson having Aikman, E. Smith, and Johnson...just for a start Any team that makes a Super Bowl has great/all pro/HOF players. If you say that for Marv, you have to say that about every other Super Bowl coach Walsh...Montana, Rice, etc Knoll...Bradshaw, Greene, Stallworth, Franco, Swan, etc. That is just such a bad argument. That Bills team was full of egos...Marv united them, made them a family. It was war, us against them, being accountable to the other men in the trenches with you. He inspired that team. Do you really think without Marv's leadership they would have gone to the Bowl 4 times? No, that team would have been at each other's throats (remember the bickering Bills) and imploded. They persevered because of what Marv instilled in them. They didn't achieve in spite of him, they achieved because of him. He may not have been the architect of the K-gun/no-huddle, but he definitely had a hand in it (if you remember how it came about---after the Cincinatti game) and he had the final say on using it, how they would use it, allowing his QB to call the plays, etc. and ended up overseeing one of the most prolific offenses ever. And it was due to Marv that Special Teams became important again league-wide and made a name for Steve Tasker and Mark Pike. What? Marv was only a .500 coach in the NFL before coming to Buffalo?...Well, Bill Belichick was under .500 in 5 years at Cleveland and 1 year in New England before Brady took over. Marv also coached in the Canadian League. In 5 years up in Canada, he was in the Grey Cup (their Super Bowl) 3 out of 5 years, winning 2. And although, his time with the Chiefs wasn't completely successful, he had inherited a horrendous 2-12 team and each year they improved to 4, 7, 8 wins, then 9-7 in 1981 (before a strike shortened season). The reason we failed in the Super Bowls was because the league was changing at that time to bigger, beefier offensive lines and our small 3-man front couldn't stop the run consistently enough against those new O-lines (Washington and Dallas). And sure the Giants (Parcells and Belichick) had a good game plan in SB XXV to use a time sucking ground attack to keep the Bills offense off the field, but it's not like he was severely out coached, we lost the game by 1 point for Christ's sake and if Norwood's FG goes through we would have won. And don't forget, in week 15 of that same year, we had beaten that same Giants team in the Meadowlands 17-13. Those teams were so evenly matched and those were two hard fought, close games. Marv is the only coach to go to 4 consecutive Super Bowls (do you know how hard that is even though they lost them)? He was also the coach of the greatest NFL comeback of all time. In an 8 year stretch, his Bills won the AFC East 6 times. He was Skyline Conference Coach of the year both years he coached at the University of New Mexico. He also won Southern Conference Coach of the Year awards 2 out of 5 years he was at William & Mary. Won the Annis Stukus Trophy (Coach of the year in the Canadian League) in 1974. Was NFL Coach of the Year in 1988 and AFC Coach of the Year in 1988, 1993, and 1995. One of only 2 coaches (Tom Flores was the other) to have a winning record (17-6) against the winningest coach in the history of the NFL (Shula). One of only 14 coaches to win at least 100 games with one team. One of only 2 coaches (Bud Grant, the other) to appear in both Grey Cup Championship and the Super Bowl. Over a 10 year span (1988-1997), an entire decade, the Bills won more games than any team in the AFC and 2nd only to San Francisco in the entire NFL (I'm sure coaching had nothing to do with that...right?) I just don't understand this revisionist history. Give the man his due and have some respect for not only one of the best Bills coaches ever, but one of the best of all-time. "Where would you rather be than right here, right now" "When it's too tough for them, it's just right for us." Come on Man! hes also one of just a few coaches in the HOF without winning a ring and he's got the worst record of the bunch. And I hate to say it because it seems to be so cool around these parts, but those quotes that you love so much, were Marvs originally. He got them from somewhere else. Just like his dumb "Fight on Sir Andrew" poem. He was a babysitter of men, and a bad One at that. That's all. A real coach would have made sure his troops would have been indoors and in beds before the biggest night of their lives. Instead they were all out until 6am blowing coke off stripper asses.
Nuncha Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Well I think I did - re read the first two sentences of original post. I admire much of what he did, just don't believe he belongs in Hall of Fame. He lead a team to 4 straight super bowls - That's not enough for the hall of fame? Cmon man! Who else has done that? Not even Bellicheat!
mrags Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 He lead a team to 4 straight super bowls - That's not enough for the hall of fame? Cmon man! Who else has done that? Not even Bellicheat! yeah, The Hoodie has only win 3 as a HC, been to 5 as a HC, and win one as a DC. Against us, no less. Yeah, he doesn't deserve praise. C'mon man. Get off the Marv Sauce.
Kirby Jackson Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Marv had a little Phil Jackson to me (minus the titles). He took an incredibly talented group and won with it. There is something to be said for that. What kind of coach would he have been with the talent of the teams recently -who knows. 17 sounds about right to me.
Mr. WEO Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Marv had a little Phil Jackson to me (minus the titles). He took an incredibly talented group and won with it. There is something to be said for that. What kind of coach would he have been with the talent of the teams recently -who knows. 17 sounds about right to me. Nah---more like KC Jones of the great Celtics teams of the 80's. They say he "coached" by simply rolling out the ball to midcourt at practice. Few NFL teams have been as satacked on both sides of the ball as Marv's 4 SB teams. To not win a single title tells us more about the coach than anything else. In the last 3, they were simply not prepared well. That exposed Levy.
Buftex Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) hes also one of just a few coaches in the HOF without winning a ring and he's got the worst record of the bunch. There are 22 coaches in the Hall Of Fame. Fourteen of them (by my count) spent a substantial amount of their career coaching during the Super Bowl era. Of those 14 Marv Levy does not have the worst winning percentage (Sid Gillman and Weeb Eubanks says hello) and he is not the only one who hasn't won a Super Bowl ring (Bud Grant & Sid Gillman says hello again). Levy's career win percentage (.561) is not worlds below that of other HOF coaches (Parcells .569, Chuck Knoll .566), and better than Eubanks and Gillman. 22 head coaches in, what? 93 years of the Pro Football? Of course, somebody is going to be at the bottom of the list. Edited May 27, 2013 by Buftex
Optometric Insight Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Most teams would have quit and been too demoralized to get to another Super Bowl after losing one by one point, Marv made sure they would get back to the Super Bowl. Sure, his players didn't have the greatest life outside of football but he did get them to play their hardest out on the field. He didn't worry about what he couldn't control and took control of what he worried about.

I started my comments about Levy having the worst record of the non SuperBowl winning coaches with a disclaimer that I looked at all that information years ago. Stating that I may be wrong. I also said he was "One of the worst" in w/l record. If you love Marv, that's fine. Great. He was the coach of your favorite team during your favorite time. I get it. But he was not a great coach. He was good. He was a leader of baby's. but not a great coach. But hey, the NFL and Canton disagree with me, so why should you be any different. Life's a garden, dig it!!!
metzelaars_lives Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Never liked Levy after his anti hunting remarks. Stick with football butt wipe. I believe it was Kent Hull [God bless em] who showed up at the next players meeting in full hunting camo to show the old fart what he thought about it. You've made one too many nutty posts for my liking. So the guy doesn't like hunting. Neither do I. It blows my mind how people on here show so much disrespect for Marv Levy time and time again. As a Bills fan, that's like dissing your own grandfather. And yes, he had a lot of talent to work with, but lest you're too young to remember, Bruce Smith used to be a showboating cokehead, Jim Kelly was an a**hole, Thurman Thomas was a whiner and a complainer and Marv got all these guys to come together and not only play for eachother but love eachother. They would not have made four consecutive Super Bowls if Marv wasn't able to bring them together. That '89 team was on the brink of complete collapse.

Kelly was always a drunk and Thurman always a whiner. Don't forget Reed. That doesn't mean they were extremely take Ted and would t have win without Marv though.

Marv and the gang couldn't win the big game because they lost 4 Super Bowls (3 against superior and/or extremely hot teams)? Really? Those conference championship games weren't big? Those other playoff games? Those comebacks? Those division clinchers? Those games against arch rivals like the Dolphins who had been pounding the Bills for years? Those Monday nighters? Marv's Bills won a donkey load of big games. They were competitive and entertaining and resilient for a decade. They were a joy to watch. But sure, Marv had nothing to do with it.

Buftex Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 like I said, I don't argue with the fact that Marv was a good coach. A really good coach. I guess my fight is with the NFL. I don't believe any coach should be in the HOF without a ring. And I think that is silly.
bbb Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 The 1-15 turnaround also included Belichek as the DC. In Dallas, Parcells had the luxury of another great DC in Wade Phillips. Finally, his stint in Miami showed that he was indeed missing those key parts. Having said that, I would like to state that, NFL is the ultimate team sport and it requires all of them (53 players and the many Coaches) and excellent players at skill positions to put out a winning program. I don't think any one is rewriting history. Parcells was another good HC in the NFL. Can't believe I'm sticking up for Parcells, but didn't he take a team that won one game in Miami and have them win the division the next year? He really was great at taking teams that sucked and have them in contention in very short order. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Great post. Super Bowl fever makes people insane. Winning the Super Bowl is a huge crapshoot. So many things have to go right. A few plays go differently and Brady and Belichick have won zero. Or five. (I think they are both all-timers, BTW.) The way to judge a coach or team is consistency in terms of being in the hunt. Marv and the gang couldn't win the big game because they lost 4 Super Bowls (3 against superior and/or extremely hot teams)? Really? Those conference championship games weren't big? Those other playoff games? Those comebacks? Those division clinchers? Those games against arch rivals like the Dolphins who had been pounding the Bills for years? Those Monday nighters? Marv's Bills won a donkey load of big games. They were competitive and entertaining and resilient for a decade. They were a joy to watch. But sure, Marv had nothing to do with it. I hate when people saying he can't win the big one. As Rick Reilly said, he won two Grey Cups..........To get to the Super Bowl, you have to win a hell of a lot of big games. The biggest regular season game in Bills history was 12/23/90 vs. Dolphins. He won that with his backup QB. I think AFC Championships are big games, too! If Norwood's kick goes a few feet to the left, suddenly Marv is a coach who can win the big one, right?
