Passing: Former Buffalo Bills coach Lou Saban (Buffalo News)

From The Buffalo News:

Lou Saban, who coached the Buffalo Bills to two American Football League championships in the 1960s, died on March 29 at age 87 at his home in South Carolina.

Saban had two successful stints as Bills head coach. The first came from 1962 to 1965. He built the Bills in to a powerhouse, and directed the AFL title teams in 1964 and 1965. He left the Bills after that second crown to coach at the University of Maryland. But he returned in 1972 and helped catapult O.J. Simpson to NFL stardom.
