Old school
The Bills are set to become one geriatric football team if this latest news comes to pass:
Former Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy, 77, will return to the team to oversee the football operation, and president and general manager Tom Donahoe will be fired Wednesday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports.
On Tuesday, team owner Ralph Wilson held a postseason meeting with coach Mike Mularkey, whose status remains uncertain.
Frustrated by the Bills' 5-11 finish and failure to reach the playoffs for the sixth straight season, Wilson promised to make changes to his management structure, but only after he met with his coach. The meeting took place at Wilson's office in Detroit.
Wilson, age 87, informed Mularkey that he would take a more active role in the organization, including evaluating assistant coaches and personnel, Mortensen reported.
As a Bills fan, this can only be good news. Marv Levy is a personal hero of mine, so I am probably not the most neutral person to ask about this. However, Levy always had a certain dignity about him, and you always believed he had things under control. The Bills certainly need somebody like that around. Maybe this second time around he can finally get us that Super Bowl title.

Just as long as they don't bring back Joe Ferguson and Reggie McKenzie to the roster, too.
