Talonz Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Some of you folks are simply UNREAL. Levy was one of the best things for the Bills and Buffalo in his tenure and all some of you knuckleheads want to do is mock and belittle him... What would be wrong with bringing him in to help stabilize things? I for one like this idea. He is a man of high intelligence and integrity.

2003Contenders Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Besides, isn't Marv on the record saying he likes Mularkey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick544 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 He prolly didnt have much of a choice with liking or not liking MM, any ways I can only dream he would return as HC but he could come back in some capacity. If Buffalo doesnt start winning we may see the LA. Bills or Las Vegas Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BackInDaDay Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 It's true that the Bills were loaded with talent in Marv's tenure, but many teams have been loaded with talent and didn't play with the same intensity year after year. For me, that was Marv's greatest talent - keeping the flame lit and his team focused. No easy task, and his induction into the Hall of Fame recognizes that. If he has been asked to join the club again, I sincerely hope it's because he has something to offer and Ralph will be willing to act on his advice. If this is just another ploy on Wilson's part to distract the fans from the sad state of the Bills, then shame on him. Marv's an intelligent guy. He won't be asked to run the 7 on 7s! If Ralph needs an old voice to enjoin the new ones he's been listening to, who better than an icon of our successful past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwelling on them and entertaining thoughts of bringing Marv back with Jim kelly as his OC aren't helping. Remember those years for what they were, damn good football years. If he comes in to offer his advice, that'd be wonderful, but it can't go much further than that. I mean absolutely no disrespect to the man, but age *will* be a problem very shortly. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he gets an emeritus position for life with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age I doubt he'd be interested in anything more than 'big picture' issues. He may be able to help Ralph assess the current state of the team and help architect a plan for the team's future. This could involve helping the GM (TD or not) with the draft and FA to secure the personnel needed to fit the plan. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but this team is in desperate need of direction and Marv Levy may have a compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their contract status and their specific abilities must be considered to determine if their services are necessary to the club's future. We have a collection of talented players and coaches that under-achieved. They lost sight of what their goals were, or they were abandoned. Some saw their responsibities change, often, week to week. This rudderless ship had no fate but the rocks. Give your coaches a workable plan and players committed to it's success. If this is all Marv tells Ralph, I'll be happy.

Matt in KC Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 This just in: I could eat 50 eggs.... Seriously, I'd be happy to see Marv come in as the new President of the Bills, and help Ralph hire a new GM and help guide the Bills back into the light (or is it avoid going into the light...?)
