Here’s Marv as Cal’s head coach with a young assistant named Bill Walsh in 1960.
Mike White, too. He coached the Chuck Muncie era at Cal and later the Raiders.
(William & Mary (1964–1968)
Head coach)
Oh, no.
That won’t do.
That will be the day that
I move back to Annadale
Do you know the difference between a dollar bill and a Buffalo Bill? You get 4 quarters from a dollar bill
Go Bills!
I read that as Marcy Levy at first. Didn’t think she was that old!
Marv Levy invited another Coe College grad, Fred Jackson, to Bills training camp in 2006, when Jackson was 26, which is already considered old in the NFL. Jackson had played for a few seasons in the US indoor football league, and even played in German Football league.
Fred Jackson was a straight-ahead runner who ran at the spot where the play dictated there would be a hole. He didn't juke and jive much, but with his speed and power, often got through to the second level. in 2007 Jackson ran for >1000 yards. Jackson played on the Bills for another 8 years.
Levy still praises Jackson as his "Coe College find" and also for being a great character individual and family man - which is all true.
There are few people who are as LOVED in Buffalo as Marv Levy.
My very first NFL game was when Levy was coaching the Chiefs. Back in the dark years. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.
Probably the only head coach in NFL history with a bachelor’s in literature and a master’s in history.
