All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Were you any less excited when they hired Marv Levy? A lot of fans were Marv Who? Less than stellar resume, including tome in the cfl and a year the USFL with 5 years at KC and on;y one winning season, and 9-7 at that.
We really don't know how it will turn out.
In the end, there are only three liberal archetypes: The fools, the beneficiaries and the crooks.

I pretty much remember feeling the same way about ML. It ushered in an era where upper management did everything it could to win. I don't think the Bills FO has that dedication at this time. I hope I am proven wrong. I also will not knock Gailey for that...now, his game day decisions might be a different thing.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
The key difference between the two will be in how the GM does at stocking the team with quality players. Marv Levy benefited from the "Polian Machine" in an un-capped era. If Buddy Nix can be HALF the GM Polin was/is, we could be OK.

And the trend of using the exception to prove the rule continues! Tell me, why exactly did you choose Levy as your example and not Jauron, mularkey or Williams?

MM and GW were first time coaches...why compare? DJ was a loser four out of five of his seasons as HC. ML and CG are pretty much on par. But then again, you always do navigate to the negative.

To me of the last coaches his most similar situation and resume.
