Levy, on the other hand went to 4 SBs in 12 years with the Bills, and most think that he was innovative, and that he had a hand in developing Jim Kelly inot a HoF QB.

True... Reeves took two teams (one with a journeyman QB) to the SB. There's just not that much difference between the two to me and would put Reeves a tick higher than Levy.

Not me.

Levy showed a flexibility in his philosphy that you simply don't see that often in coaching.

He adjusted his plan to get the most out of the talent he had to work with.

Would anyone have thought that the guy who brought back the Wing T in KC would be the same guy that would have a high flying no huddle offense?

Reeves is a tick above Marty in my opinion, and a couple of steps below Marv.

That might be the most homerish post ever from you.

Yeah but Levy had some of the best teams ever. Those Bills team were great.

They had a string of excellent drafts. Kelly, they found Reed at Kutztown State, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith, Cornelius Bennett and more. They went through a period where a ton of their draft picks were working out perfectly.
