Marv Levy

Marvin Daniel Levy (; born August 3, 1925) is an American former football coach who served as a head coach in the National Football League (NFL) for 17 seasons. He spent most of his head coaching career with the Buffalo Bills, leading them from 1986 to 1997. After spending 10 years as head coach in college, Levy was hired to coach the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL) in 1973. From 1973 to 1977, he won two Grey Cup titles with Montreal. After five seasons coaching the Kansas City Chiefs, Levy helped the Bills become one of the most dominant American Football Conference (AFC) teams during the 1990s. His greatest success occurred between 1990 and 1993 when he led Buffalo to a record four consecutive Super Bowls, although each game ended in defeat. Levy concluded his head coaching career with 11 playoff victories and four Super Bowl appearances, both of which are the most of head coaches to not win an NFL championship. After having retired from coaching in 1997, Levy served as the general manager of the Bills from 2006 to 2007. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
