JMO Yes I would as well but his brilliance and passion lead him to do some crazy things like quitting on the Bills not once but twice, once in mid-season. I just counted up, he had 21 different coaching jobs plus one stint as NY Yankees President...that is not normal.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw him coaching HS football in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but Lou Saban wasn't the Coach during the first Superbowl season of 1966. It was a big disappointment to me. If he had stayed one more season it would have been the Bills in the Superbowl instead and they would have at least been competitive with the Packers. I always suspected he left because he didn't want to face the pressure of winning the AFL Championship again and going to the Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that was it at all. It wasn't any secret that Wilson meddled with the football side which didn't sit well with Saban. Didn't help that Saban had a short fuse when it came to control of the team. Wilson mellowed over the years but that tendency to want to control things never went away entirely. Can you say RJ - Flutie? I think Marv Levy's success was in part due to his ability to assure Wilson and keep him at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
