Fame after a 14-year career. Walsh credited Reynolds as being the most telling personnel move he ever made, stating "Jack gave us leadership and maturity and toughness and set an example for everybody...As strange a guy as he was, he really put us on the map. I think that single addition was the key to our success." It was a condition of his last professional contract that he would become a coach immediately after retirement. However, he only lasted 12 days, allegedly finding the candid nature of player assessments by fellow coaches "unsettling". He retired from professional football completely after this brief stint. Reynolds appeared in a non-speaking role in the Simpsons episode "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday" when Dan Marino calls him and former Baltimore Colts defensive lineman Bubba Smith to tackle Homer for intercepting a pass meant for Bart. Reynolds currently splits his time between a house in Miami and another in the Caribbean.
