Wyatt spent only one year in Oakland; in 1971 and 1972 he played for the Buffalo Bills (with five interceptions and a touchdown), then moved to the Houston Oilers in 1973.
After playing only sparingly (four games) for the Oilers, Wyatt jumped to the Jacksonville Sharks of the World Football League (WFL) in 1974.
Wyatt's success was due in part to his colorful and outspoken personality, and his flashy attire as he patrolled the sidelines.
The Wildcats played in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 2002 and 2003 under Wyatt, who is the winningest coach in the history of its football program.
Other players under Wyatt who played in the NFL are Damion Cook (offensive lineman), and Steve Baggs (linebacker) who is in the Canadian Football League.
