jetstream23 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I remember the look on his face, the isolate camera shot of him as Montana drove down the field on his Bengals to win the Super Bowl. Guy looked helpless and new what was coming. He had his Bengals ready for that game and they damn near won it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 It doesn't feel like that long ago he lost that great Superbowl against the 49ers (in the famous "isn't that John Candy?" game). https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28411101/former-bengals-buccaneers-coach-sam-wyche-dies-74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 He was a great coach, very prominent in his era. Doesn't seem that he retired that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
