Media outlets in Buffalo are reporting that Bills general manager Marv Levy will retire. WIVB-TV first reported Levy's retirement.

Levy, the Pro Football Hall of Fame coach who led the Bills to four straight Super Bowls in the 1990s, is apparently citing his age (82) as the reason that he wants to move on.

Levy retired as the Bills' coach after the 1997 season but then returned as general manager in January of 2006. He has generally done a solid job running the Bills' front office, and although they don't have a playoff berth to show for it, the team is more talented now than it was when he arrived.

The big question now is whether Levy's departure will put head coach Dick Jauron's job in jeopardy. Levy hired Jauron, and it's entirely possible that a new general manager would want a new coach. The Bills' front office could be headed for a shakeup.

When are teams going to realize that switching coaches everytime the weather changes is not good for the team. They need time to get their team together the way they want it to be.

Well, so much for Levy coming back to be the savior of this franchise. Sometimes you need to move forward, not live in the past.

He did a good job getting the franchise where it needs to be. I think firing Jauron would be a mistake. He did a pretty good job with a young team.

The redskins are doing it with Gibbs. How long until Miami brings back Shula.
