Former Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Sam Wyche is in a North Carolina hospital as he awaits a transplant for his heart.
Wyche, 71, detailed his condition on his website.
"I am in Carolinas Medical Center's Dickson Heart Unit in Charlotte, NC awaiting donor heart transplant," Wyche wrote. "If there is no match for a donor heart in the next few days, I will need to have an LVAD [Left Ventricular Assist Device, an artificial heart pump] implanted below my heart until a donor heart can be obtained. I have outstanding Sanger Clinic physicians and hospital staff taking care of me.
