INDIANAPOLIS -- The thought of Frank Reich one day being a head coach never crossed the mind of former Buffalo coach Marv Levy when Reich was playing quarterback during their nine seasons together with the Bills.

That’s understandable when you consider Reich waited 10 years after he retired from playing in the NFL to get into coaching. It wasn't until Levy attended one of the Indianapolis Colts’ offseason workouts when Reich was on staff and working with the quarterbacks that Levy noticed a person with tools necessary to be a head coach.

“He was working with Peyton [Manning] and as I watched I noticed how good of a teacher he was and how on top of it he was with things,” Levy told ESPN.
