Holy fucking shit. Look what Marv just wrote in his article for NFL. com

I can really understand Joe's decision to return to the sidelines. Much refreshed from what it was when I finally felt I wanted to step away after a long coaching career, I too would like an opportunity to come back.

I had gone through a year where there were devastating injuries to the Bills. Chris Spielman's career ended with a neck injury; Damien Covington, a young kid and a fine linebacker prospect, injured his knee so badly he could never walk correctly again. These injuries were adding up and I just felt that I had done this long enough and needed a break.

But what I realized later was that I was looking for a sabbatical, and not one that lasted this long. I want to coach again. Have I been contacted or interviewed? I've talked to people but I feel it's inappropriate to divulge that at this point.

I've dwelled on this before, but the success of returning coaches like Dick Vermeil and Bill Parcells, and now Joe Gibbs, and even in baseball with Marlins manager Jack McKeon, is maybe showing that the age barrier for coaches is finally breaking down. I hope so.

Chewing Wax:
That's sort of what I envisioned. Jesuits and Mafia conventions.

Obviously, Levy doesn't see age as a barrier.

Since guiding the Buffalo Bills to an unprecedented four straight Super Bowl appearances and retiring after the 1997 season, Levy has been out of the game long enough to enter the Hall of Fame. Contacted in Chicago, where he lives part of the year, Levy said he he hasn't done anything more than advertise his availability to various teams, including Washington and Chicago.

In his final year at Buffalo, Levy was 72, tying the late, legendary George Halas as the oldest NFL coach. Apparently, Levy wants to break the record.

"Coaches, like anybody else, need a sabbatical," said Levy, who keeps in shape by jogging three miles a day and does a weekly television show with former Bears coach Mike Ditka. "Most of the coaches who retired like me have said that about two months after they left, they shouldn't have been so hasty. And there are some people who don't want to come back. I haven't heard any (comeback talk) from Chuck Noll or Don Shula. But, yes, the flame does burn."

Does Levy's wife support his wish to get back into coaching?

"She wants to get me out of the house," he said with a laugh.

Heck, even 900-year-old Marv Levy is offering to make a comeback, if any team is interested.

"Yes, I would like to coach again," he told Sporting News Radio. "I'm energized. I've been away from it for a while. There are some jobs like the Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears and Oakland, all of whom have great chances to move forward. I've expressed some interest. Older coaches, hey, (Dick) Vermeil, (Bill) Parcells, Jack McKeon in baseball. Age doesn't mean anything, in my opinion."

whew, that's a relief. But if they did crash there's a good chance they could be resucitated. We have the technology.
