The Buffalo Bills added some head coaching experience to their staff this off-season, luring Sam Wyche back to coaching after a nine-year hiatus. Wyche takes on new challenges as the quarterbacks coach, trying to improve the play of Drew Bledsoe as well as helping to develop rookie first-round draft pick, J.P. Losman.

Wyche knows what it takes to win and knows how to develop young quarterbacks into NFL stars. He began his professional coaching career in 1979 in San Francisco where he was also the quarterbacks coach. He spent three seasons there developing the 49ers young quarterback, a player out of Notre Dame named Joe Montana.

He took the Cincinnati Bengals to Super Bowl XXIII following the 1988 season and had a 16-13 lead with only a few minute remaining. He nearly won that game, except the 49ers scored with less than a minute remaining on a touchdown pass from the man he mentored, Joe Montana.

Though Wyche has been out of football for nearly a decade, he has kept up on the game and the changes that have been made. He said he feels fresh, and ready to get back to the action.
