Dave in Avon Lake now Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Since many of you are in a "fire Rex" mood, I thought I would do a little comparison of coaches with long periods of success in Bills history to the current acknowledged leader. I chose to compare only the periods of time they coached our respective AFC East teams. While Levy loses out due to a few tough years, it is not as lopsided as you might think. What do you think of this random information on a hump day? Buffalo Bills 1986-1997 122-76 0.616162 New England Patriots 2001-2015 187-69 0.730469 Edited September 21, 2016 by Dave in Cromwell
PatsFanNH Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Levy was a great coach!!! But I can't read your stats on my phone as its all garbled together, that said I am not shocked they are close at all. Although hasn't BB been in the division longer than Levy was? (I'm asking I honestly don't know)
BuffaloBud Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Tough to call. Pre-salary cap v salary cap / free agency eras.
Best Player Available Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Tough to call. Pre-salary cap v salary cap / free agency eras. Yep. Apples vs. cheating oranges*
PatsFanNH Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Only stat that jumped out at me is 7 more losses for Levy with BB being in the league/division 4 more years.
Dave in Avon Lake now Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 Sorry about the original post. It looked much more favorable when looking at records in the individual years. Levy's best 5 years: 1988 12-4 1990 13-3 1991 13-3 1992 11-5 1993 12-4 Belichek's best 5 years 2007 16-0 2003 14-2 2004 14-2 2010 14-2 2011 13-3 Colts were in the division all of Levy's years. They left the AFC East in 2001.
