    I hope he didn't end up in Cleveland bc that'd be awkward.

    RIP

    Even though I’m a Steelers fan I always liked Wyche. Maybe because I always liked Super Dave Osborne and thought they looked a lot alike. But probably mainly because of his “You don’t live in Cleveland” performance, which is an all-timer.

    He no longer lives in Cleveland or Cincinnati. Because someone had to say it.

    I always thought they cast someone on Coach who looked like SamWyche.

    To this day, one of the best soundbites ever. His inflection - perfect *chef's kiss*

    Man, this sucks. I'm a lifelong Bengals fan and was a teenager in the late '80s when Wyche tussled with Cleveland, Jerry Glanville and, oh yeah, was a damned good coach that should have won the Super Bowl (damn you Stanley Wilson and that disgraceful field in Miami). And a fine guy. RIP.

    Man, the Grim Reaper is really getting a head start for 2020 in the sports realm. Like everyone else, I'll always remember him for that Cleveland insult over the PA. May not have been the greatest head coach ever, but seemed like a good guy who didn't take himself that seriously. One other moment I remember was during the player introductions for Super Bowl XXIII (back when they brought out the players individually). Right before they announced his name for him to come out onto the field, he got down in a three-point stance like he was ready to put on the helmet and pads himself.

    Grew up a Rams fan but also liked Wyche and the Bengals ... loved James Brooks ... LOVED their '80s helmets.

    They came so fucking close to beating the Montana 49ers. That had'to've haunted him till his final breath.

    Always liked him. I thought he handled himself really well post game after Super Bowl XXIII and if watching Joe Montana rip your heart out and gleefully dance on it isn't enough to make to re-think sportsmanship immediately after the final buzzer than I don't know what is.

    In his words he started a season "Five-dash-two" which was a hell of an accomplishment for that team at that time. Of course they finished seven-dash-nine
