#TwoHallsForMarv
Do we still need to introduce Marv Levy?
An iconic head coach who was at the helm of our Alouettes in the 1970s and led them to two Grey Cups, who also made a name for himself south of the border by leading the Buffalo Bills to four consecutive Super Bowls. Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001, it is high time for him to get his name into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
Hence, by the beginning of April (date of the nomination of the 2021 Canadian Hall of Fame inductees), we will be posting different articles, content, and testimonials from former players and defining figures to push this nomination.
We’re counting on you to show your support for this nomination by sharing all these posts on your social media platforms with the hashtag #TwoHallsForMarv
First post to share: this article of the Journal de Montréal columnist Marc Defoy who spoke to many of our former players about why Marv deserves his spot in the Hall of Fame.

Marv’s technique helped improve the Canadian game. He’s the one who introduced the no-huddle offensive strategy which he later brought to the NFL. He challenged the norms for punt returns.
