 Through
the ages there have been great men
who have had a major influence on
the people with whom they have come
into contact with. One such man is
Hall of Fame, former Buffalo Bills
Head Coach Marv Levy. Levy, who has
a Master's degree from Harvard, was
best known as an intelligent and
analytical football coach. Perhaps
better suited for the political
field rather than the football
field, Coach Levy led the Buffalo
Bills to an unprecedented four
straight Super Bowls. He used his
Harvard education to motivate and
shape the careers and lives of many
pro football athletes....Book

Coach
Levy, (more affectionately known to
fans and friends simply as Marv) was
born in Chicago, Illinois. He went
to Coe College in Iowa where he
earned 3 varsity letters in
football, 4 in track and 1 in
basketball. After graduating
college, Marv entered law school.
About three weeks later, he made the
decision to become a football coach.
Instead of just another lawyer in
the world, the world ended up with
one of the greatest football coaches
of all time.
After
47 years of coaching, Marv retired
on December 31, 1997. He will be
remembered not only as the
winningest coach in Buffalo Bills
history and a Hall of Fame football
coach, but also as one of the NFL's
most classiest individuals. Levy not
only molded football players but he
also molded men character, class and
pride.
In
August of 2001, Marv was rewarded
for all of his hard work when he was
bestowed pro-football highest honor.
He was inducted into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame, in Canton,
Ohio in his very first year of
eligibility. In his NFL coaching
career, Levy ranked 10th
all-time with a 154-120 record, had
a .634 winning percentage, won six
division championships and four
straight AFC Championships and led
the Bills to four straight Super
Bowl appearances. He is one of only
14 coaches to win 100 games with one
NFL team. Equally as impressive,
Coach Levy compiled a 17-5 record
against the winningest coach in NFL
history, Don Shula and the Miami
Dolphins.
Coach Levy and the Bills will be
remembered for their ability to
bounce back and rise again, and in
the words of Levy's personal hero
Winston Churchill, "Never, never ,
never, never, never surrender!"
