Sam Wyche, who coached the Cincinnati Bengals to an appearance in the Super Bowl, has died at age 74.

Wyche's son told Cincinnati's WCPO-TV that the cause of death was complications from cancer.

"Sam was a wonderful guy," team owner Mike Brown said in a statement. "We got to know him as both a player and a coach. As our coach, he had great success and took us to the Super Bowl. He was friends with everyone here, both during his tenure as head coach and afterwards. We not only liked him, we admired him as a man. He had a great generosity of spirit and lived his life trying to help others. We express our condolences to Jane and his children Zak and Kerry."

 
Fitting that he passed away after Bengals beat Cleveland.

Shook his hand on the floor of Riverfront Stadium after the Bengal beat the Bills in AFC Championship game 31 years ago.
