You'll remember Sam Wyche best as an NFL football player and head coach for the Cincinnati Bengals. Sam is one of only four NFL veterans who participated in a Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. He is a dedicated husband of over 40 years, loving father and devout Christian.
Sam played NFL quarterback for nine seasons, with the Bengals, Redskins, Lions, Cardinals and Bills. He spent four years tutoring Joe Montana as an offensive assistant to Bill Walsh in San Francisco, then matriculated to head coaching jobs at Indiana University (1983), as well as the Cincinnati Bengals (1984-91) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1992-95). Wyche had a 64-68 record with the Bengals and took them to Super Bowl XXIII, where Montana led the 49ers to a last-minute comeback victory with a 10-yard touchdown pass to John Taylor.
These days he is described as a southern gentlemen, and a man in full. He's the volunteer offensive coordinator of a High School Football team, the Pickens Blue Flame, a college analyst for Fox Sports South, an in-demand public speaker and a philanthropist.
