Great post.

PB & Wyche definitely the top 2 in coaching.

Marvin had some nice year's, but the oack of PO success means I still take Gregg for 3rd.

Kund of the same way I view the QBs. Kenny & Boomer far & away 1 & 2. Palmer & Dalton a distant 3rd & 4th. Burrow will be 6th by the end of this year (Kitna), if not higher.

I'll never forget Sam kicking an onsides kick in that 61-7 shellacking of Houston...

The front page of the sports page in Anchorage, Alaska on the next day was a large picture of that recovery coming into your room taken by a photographer about 15 directly in feet in front of Ira Hillary on the sideline. 

Quote:It was December 18, 1989. The Bengals were leading the Houston Oilers 45 – 0 in the fourth quarter. Instead of simply kicking the ball back to the Oilers on the kickoff, Cincinnati executed an onside kick, which allowed them to regain possession of the ball. As shocking as this may seem now, it fit right in with the Bengals’ game plan that day. The fourth quarter alone showed the Bengals throwing on first down, going for it on fourth down and kicking a field goal with 21 seconds left in the game to solidify the final score of 61-7. All this on an Oilers team that was set to win the division.


So why did the Bengals run up the score on this particular day? Simply because Sam Wyche hated Jerry Glanville. Wyche had a lot to say after the game:

"We don't like this team we don't like their people. When you get a chance to do it (run up the score), you do it. I wish today this was a five-quarter game. I just don't like Jerry Glanville, I don't like phonies, and I don't think Jerry is a very genuine guy. The cheap shots they tried after our quarterback was down, their big mouths. Jerry tries coming up and talking to me before the game and when the cameras start rolling he puts his arm around you and smiles behind those dark glasses. When your football team is so talented and yet so undisciplined, you got to be ready to get kicked and the score run up on you. And that's exactly what happened today ... I feel sorry for the Houston players having to put up with him. He can take that hit-the-beach stuff and take it back to high school or wherever he got it from. He's a joke."

Wyche had the same amount as Marv in half the seasons.

That was kind of initially why I started looking at the scores. I don't really remember the Bengals blowing teams out very much in the ML era and since ZT just did it twice in a row on the road, I wanted to see how many Sam had along with them, so I compiled all three. Then I realized, afterwards, that I was over halfway done with the entire team so I did all of the easy pathetic seasons next then finished up with Paul Brown just to end on a high note after reliving the awful years. After going 0-8 in 1994(the beginning of the Jeff Blake era) the Bengals won three games, all by a field goal. Yeesh.

ML ALWAYS gave me the vibe of 'playing to the level of your opponents'. I wanted to see how many times they all had back to back blowouts and to ML's credit, he's the only other coach to do it . . . unfortunately, those back to back games were the last two games before Dalton broke his thumb.

Also note that all of PB's 8 seasons were 14 games and he took over an expansion team before Free Agency existed. 

Another PB nugget: The 1968 NFL Draft.
After the first round, The Bengals received the first and last pick of rounds 2 through 17. Through a series of trades of players they acquired in the expansion draft, the Bengal had NINE 6th round picks between #139 and #165, including Howard Fest, #139 and Essex Johnson, #156. Note that 2021 4th rounder D'Ante Smith was pick #139
