He would have gotten a $1M bonus if they had won the Super Bowl.

Guess he should have vetoed the choice of jersey colors for the SB:

0-5 in Super Bowls when wearing orange.

My guess is that the way he lost hurts worse than losing a $1 million he never had.

Depends on what he promised to Mrs. Fox for what they would do with the bonus!

Now here's the real question: Is a Super Bowl loss harder on the players or the head coach?

Asked a different way, who would you rather have been, Jim Kelly or Marv Levy?

Interesting that despite their 0-for-4 in consecutive Super Bowls, both are in the Hall of Fame. Maybe winning a SB isn't all that important in the electors minds.

If you get to 4 of them it might not be, but its something they consider WAY too much for more marginal candidates.

How low is down?

I think Marv did just fine. He is very philosophically minded and well-grounded guy. Jim Kelly had a lot of other family issues to deal with, that I bet took precedence. I bet it nags at both of them a bit, but they have so many sheepskins on the walls, they have to feel good about what they accomplished.
