The Senator Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'm sure many have already heard it on Howard Simon's show this AM, - last nite at Marv was asked about his interest in coaching again. His reply was someting like... "I have to be careful about this. I have been contacted by two teams about coaching again, and I'm thinking about it. One of them is not the Bills. And that's all I can say." That would seem to imply that the other team IS the Bills. Marv Bring back Marv! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Umm, your link doesn't show any of that info.... 530847[/snapback] Yeah, I know - I wish the actual quote was in there but trust me - anyone who listened to the show heard the exact same thing - Simon played it over and over and it was the topic for a good portion of his show - also was the main topic Simon's interview with Larry Felser this morning.

Bill from NYC Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I would be against the move, but it wouldn't surprise me. Why? Because it would sell tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Remember two things here, guys. First of all "he's been contacted by two teams about coming back to work in the NFL" doesn't mean they were asking him to be HC (see the Dan Reeves thread). Secondly, my good friend The Senator, is on a campaign and has been known to strech the truth and frame the facts in a way that suits his needs, so be careful when interpreting. With that said, it IS intresting is Marv actually said "and one of them isn't the Bills". Did ANYONE else hear this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonz Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 My quote is verbatim. Someone...anyone...help me out here. (Bring back Marv.) 530897[/snapback] I heard it this morning as well. Last night before I heard this I didn't think in a million years he would be back. Now I think differently. Marv will be back to "right the ship". Good.

jester43 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 seriously, can anyone here picture the look on willis mcgahee's face (and the question marks popping out of his ears) when marv starts quoting churchill to him in training camp next fall? if this happens, ralph is OFFICIALLY gone around the bend.

tennesseeboy Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I think they ought to consider firing both TD and MM right now, appointing Marv general manager and interim head coach, and have Marv stay on as General Manager and conduct the search for head coach after the season ends. No point in prolonging the agony for TD and MM (and US!) and gives Marv time to evaluate and get ready for the draft and free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I LOVE Marv Levy...I do think he's a little long in the tooth to be an NFL head coach. With that said, perhaps tennesee is on to something. Hire Marv to help hire the next regime. If that included a stint as GM or HC, so be it. But it should be with an eye to passing the torch. As for WM's reaction to an erudite quote, Jest...maybe it's time the kid went to class.

macaroni Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Let me say this, about that ..... I like Marv, I really REALLY do. As a Bills fan I apprieciated what he did while he was our HC. But what he did then was then, and unfortunatly now is NOT then. I'm not saying he couldn't be a fine coach, he may be even able to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was the Bills of the 90s ..... BUT .... this team is in dire straights right now, we need a long term solution, we will not be fixed overnight. Marv can not rebuild this team next year, and probably not even the year after. IMHO he is smart enough to know that if he comes back, and we have another horrid year or two he'll be vilified. I would hazard a guess that he'd be much happier being known as the coach that won 4 straight division titles, than the coach that was run out of Buffalo after a few bad years because he couldn't win.

Mark VI Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Marv, as a consultant only, could be a bridge between Ralph and his people to bring Polian or his son back onboard. That alone would make it worth the gamble. Marv knows nothing about being a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 While I don't think Marv will be successful trying to be HC again, I really think he would be great teamed up with Modrak as GM. Modrak in charge of the buisness side and Marv in charge of player/personnel (coach) decisions. I'm not sure Modrak would stick around if TD left, but I think they could make a good team.

Buford T. Justice Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 It would really suck to see Marv come back, have a few losing seasons and tarnish his legacy in Buffalo. Stay retired Marv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
