AMPHAR Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 Just one of the great sports figures in Cincinnati history. Sad day 1 Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Posted January 2, 2020 Also the man who got the single loudest cheer in Cincy sports history. Quote
volcom69 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 Ugh rest easy Sam, you did so many great things with your time here on earth, Thank you! RIP 1 Quote
kingwilly Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 I’ve always admired Sam. His innovative approaches helped advance the game. I hope he can now rest east. 2 Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Posted January 2, 2020 It’s really mind boggling when you think about the 80s in Cincy. You’ve got Wyche with the no huddle, you have former Cincy assistant Joe Walsh perfecting the ORO in SF, you’ve got Dick LeBeau and the zone blitz. It’s the foundation of the game today, all of course built on PB’s legacy. Quote
jonf45uk Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 So sad to hear this news. IMO the best coach we've ever had, was such an intelligent man, innovative coach and decent bloke. The teams he coached in the late 80s early 90s were a joy to watch, hope the Bengals pay proper respect to him. RIP :( 1 Quote
AMPHAR Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 I was a fan before the 1988 season. Remember both Super Bowl teams. However memories of Sam and that season kept me going all these years. The excitement of that season is unmatched. 2005 approached it but in 1988 the whole region was Bengals all the time. Sad sad day. 1 Quote
