The most conscientious of workers, Mike Rehfeldt once missed a practice while on the strength and conditioning staff of the Cincinnati Bengals. He did so for good reason as he was interviewing for the University of Cincinnati's opening for a basketball strength coach.
One of his key functions during Bengals practices was being the "horn guy" for then-coach Marvin Lewis. As a period ended, Rehfeldt blew the horn as coordinated prior to practice with Lewis.
Except on the day he missed, leaving Lewis puzzled.
After hearing he was absent for the job interview, he pulled him into his office, then asked why he wasn't notified.
