skibum Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Wyche's Boomer and Icky Woods Bengals were one of the most entertaining teams in recent memory. If you consider that recent. 1

Mark Vader Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 RIP, Sir. He was a lot of fun to watch and a real character. Even the stint he had with the Buccaneers was fun.
r00tabaga Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Met him briefly when Losman was here. Nice guy. RIP
Saxum Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 He was a coach you could respect even if you did not like his team. RIP
holla83 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I googled Jerry Glanville after a couple references on this post. He's still coaching!
MDH Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Without Wyche bringing the no-huddle offense to Cinnci the K-Gun is likely never a thing. RIP 1
Lurker Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 A true original, who never got worn down by disappointments or succumbed to group think like so many other HCs. He always seemed to remember that football was a game, as well as a job. RIP...
Freddie's Dead Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 RIP Sam Wyche. My favorite memory of him was the Monday night game in Buffalo. Lofton scores a TD bomb after a massive push-off, and Wyche goes nuts, running onto the field and chasing refs under the goalposts. Dude had a lot of passion and fire, and was a good QB coach for the Bills. All the best to the Wyche family.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Lots of memories watching him as the Bengals coach. Sad to see him pass.
BisonMan Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 RIP, Sam. I remember him pulling a prank on the team when he was HC of Tampa. Rumor had it that Jimmy Johnson was going to get hired to replace Wyche. What does he do? He invites Johnson to play a come into the team meeting as the GM was asking Wyche to turn in his playbook. Johnson starts in with lecturing the team on getting tougher while wearing a Bucs windbreaker (which was Sam’s). It was hilarious. I wish I could find the video of it from ‘95. Here’s a link to the story: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1995-09-07-9509070043-story.html He was one of a kind. ?
Livinginthepast Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 5 hours ago, DC Tom said: December 18th, 1989. Bengals vs. Oilers, 21 seconds left in the game. Bengals line up and kick a last-second field goal, winning the game by a score of 61-7. This is after, in the third quarter, having scored a TD to take a lead of 45-0, on the ensuing kickoff the Bengals recover the onside kick. When asked why he ran up the score, Sam Wyche replied "I just don't like Jerry Glanville." EDIT: Onside kick. Preceded by the wonderfully pithy observation "You can't look much worse than this." The final field goal. After which, the play-by-play announcer says "This would be the perfect time for an onside kick." Which is followed by...the Bengals kicking an onside kick. RIP, you magnificent bastard. Glanville was an arrogant coach! Its always nice in sport or in life in general to see an ahole get their comeuppance but Glanville got in such an epic way!
T master Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I always wondered why he was never brought in to be a coach in Buffalo I know he was here as a QB coach & i was hoping he would become more ? I never knew he had heart trouble like he did until i saw a recent interview on One Bills Live . Good man he will be missed !! I liked Wyche he was a good coach !! RIP ...

May Day 10 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 He was a very likeable football character who seems like a really good man. I believe he was the true architect of the hurry-up offense in Cincinnati, right?

major Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Coaches like Wyche were classic back in the day. Buddy Ryan, Jim mora, Denny green, Mike ditka, etc... They spoke their mind. Today’s coaches are boring (too pc and scripted)
