So Long, Frank Michael Reich

When your team is on a bye week, there is only so many things your idle mind can do. This idle mind was listening to So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright on my iPod.

I saw a flash on the computer screen of the Bills vs Oilers playoff game, the greatest comeback in NFL history, as the Bills overcame a 32 point deficit to win.

With apologies to Simon and Garfunkel, the next thing I knew, I was plugging Frank Reich into this song, which I will share with you on the following slides for your entertainment pleasure.

Feel free to hum along to the So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright tune. If you own a flute or know Ian Anderson, all the better for the flute solos.

Oh, and to Frank Reich and his family, nothing is wrong with Frank, as far as I know, so I apologize for any consternation caused.

Come to think of it, he could be the QB coach for the Bills, but that is a different story altogether.

It would probably be the cause for a whole different kind of anxiety as well.

Frank Reich orchestrates the greatest comeback in NFL history

So Long, Frank Michael Reich
I can't believe your playing career ended so soon
I barely learned words for "King of Comebacks" tune
So soon
So soon

Frank also was the holder for wide left in Super Bowl XXV

I'll remember Frank Michael Reich
All of the nights you'd watch game tape till dawn
I never realized that a practice took so long
So long
So long

Frank also QB'd for the Jets, Panthers and the Lions

CHORUS

Quarterbacks may come and
quarterbacks may go and
never orchestrate a comeback debut
When I see the Terps and Bills play
I stop awhile and think of you

Frank led Maryland to a 31 point comeback against Miami U

(Flute instrumental solo)

Quarterbacks may come and
quarterbacks may go and
never orchestrate a comeback debut

So long, Frank Michael Reich
All of the nights you'd watch game tape till dawn
I never realized that a practice could take so long
So long
So long

Today, Frank Reich is the QB Coach of the Indianapolis Colts

So Long
So Long
So Long.......

Frank, we still love you in Buffalo, and hope our paths will cross with you again. How do you feel about being an Offensive Coordinator, or a Head Coach, Frank?
