olivier in france Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Something most Bills fans do not know about Marv is how revered he is in Quebec. Marv has influenced deeply football at all levels in the Belle Provincce. I've met lot of coaches from Quebec and my football team has lot of connections there and all of them have a tremendous respect for Marv. He's in some way the Father of Quebec football.
Lori Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Wasn't Marv the coach of the Bickering Bills three years into his tenure? 556512[/snapback] Yup - the same unit that would resolve their differences and end the following season in the Super Bowl. And, I might add, doing so without Levy calling out players in the media or benching/suspending any of them. Hmmmm....

Lori already addressed this (thanks, Lo)...but I just wanted to add my one cent. There will be problems...there are in EVERY organization. Even the Pats have had their share of malcontents. It's the way the problems are handled and resolved that's important. Marv didn't have public pissing contests with players.

My post was as much a comment on how not everything was rosy when Marv was here as far as players go, as much as Mularkey has been given too much guff for losing control of his team. Marv was just better at playing the press than MM has been.
