Ranking The Greatest NFL Head Coaches from All 32 Teams

#23:  Marv Levy (Buffalo Bills)

For almost their entire existence as a football franchise, the Buffalo Bills were a joke.  They won a title in the old AFL, had one or two good years with O.J. Simpson in the 1970s but were never considered a legitimate player on the top of the NFL stage.  Not until Marv Levy arrived.  What’s crazy about it is most people didn’t know what to expect from him.  He had an unsuccessful run in Kansas City before taking a brief hiatus up in Canada.  It didn’t take long though to see that he was the right man in the right place for the Bills.

By his third season the team had gone from 2-14 to 12-4 and made the playoffs for the first time in years.  They would miss them just once from that point on between 1988 and 1995.  It was during this run that Levy accomplished what no other head coach in NFL history has by getting the Bills to four-straight Super Bowls.  Not winning any of them has hurt his stance on the list, but as time goes on his accomplishment becomes more and more impressive.  The fact that he’s in the Hall of Fame should add to that assertion.
