Levy resigns Bills’ GM post

? Turns out, Marv Levy’s job was to restore order in Buffalo. It’ll be on someone else to turn the Bills into a playoff contender.

On Monday, 10 years to the day after he retired as the Bills coach, Levy called it quits again, stepping down after two years as the team’s general manager.

Despite consecutive 7-9 finishes and an eight-season playoff drought, the 82-year-old Levy leaves confident in the franchise’s future.

“It has been an experience that I have enjoyed immensely,” Levy said. “Dick Jauron, his coaching staff and an admirable core of high-character players are heading in the right direction.”

Bills owner Ralph Wilson credited Levy for bringing stability to a franchise that had alienated its fans and been undone by questionable coaching and personnel decisions under former team president Tom Donahoe.

“I will always be grateful for his service,” Wilson said. “When we needed a new focus and direction, Marv improved our organization’s morale, attitude and environment: All of that, plus the stability we needed to move forward.”
