		When Marv Levy was hired to take over a troubled franchise from an overmatched Hank Bullough in the middle of the 1986 campaign, the prevailing thought was that Levy was coming in on an interim basis and the Bills would hire a permanent replacement after the season.
		Levy's appearances at the podium were always delivered with respect to the audience behind the microphones and notebooks, with the understanding that the respect flowed to the people who eventually read or listened to his words.
		Levy's trademark references to historical events were a constant reminder that after all the allegories to war or human conflicts, football is just a game played between grown men that should be treated as such.

		Levy is the only NFL coach to have ever won four straight league or conference championships, and, given the turbulent state of the current free-agent ridden NFL, that record is likely safe for all time.

		Before each contest, Levy inspired his players with a question: "Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?"

		Saturday, Buffalo Bills GM and former head coach, Marv Levy, made it clear to Bills fans and the media that he would not be a candidate to replace the resigned Mike Mularkey.

		Levy seemed unwilling to take into account that NFL head coaches in this era sleep in their office regularly and tend to work 16 to 20 hours per day.

		Marv and company aren't heralded as some sort of offensive guru's and they're certainly not cutting edge but they know how to put together a team that does the basics well and that's what we need.
		I agree that Levy basically HAS to have learned from his time in and out of the league and I believe Jauron has from his failure in Chicago as well.
		Levy's wide-eyed idealism may seem great on the surface, but I wonder if it'll actually be successful in the cut throat, throw your momma from the train if it benefits you world of the NFL.
