"You have to have balance. I’m talking about three departments of play—offense, defense and the kicking game. All three areas are important. It’s an oversimplification but the offense sells tickets, the defense wins games and the kicking game wins championships.”
Marv Levy MA '51 was born in Chicago and developed a love for sports at a young age. After high school, he served from 1943 to 1946 in the Army Air Corps At Coe College, where he was a talented running back and sprinter and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate. He later earned a master’s degree at Harvard University in English History. After coaching at the college level for seven years, his professional coaching career began as the kicking teams coach for the Philadelphia Eagles and as the special teams coach for the Los Angeles Rams and Washington Redskins. He then became the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League, leading them to two Grey Cup championships. He joined the Buffalo Bills as head coach in 1987 and built a powerhouse franchise that attracted fans and accolades to the Bills. Levy led the Bills to a historic four consecutive Super Bowl appearances. He was named Coach of the Year twice, in 1988 and 1995, by United Press International. He currently holds the record for the most wins by a Bills coach with 123 victories. He retired from football after the 1997 NFL season. In 2001, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He currently lives with his wife, Mary Frances, in Chicago and has a daughter, Kimberly.
