Thus would be a perfect year for Wyche to help out Zamp.g

Fred and Au will jump all over me for appearing to be sentimental here, but one issue I have always had with the Bengals is that they have no ties to their past.  No Ring of Honor.  There are very few instances when they call on their former greats to address the team or anything like that.

Wyche was an innovator and the Bengals have been called everything but innovative the past 20 years.  If the team made a simple gesture to Wyche, offered him a decent consulting fee, and had him self-scout the team and provide any ideas he thinks that could better disguise formations or help in any way, I think the city would celebrate the move.  Granted, some of the younger generations may have to Google him to learn what he had done here, but it would be a great lesson!
