condolances to the family.

very good coach, great eye for talent.
personally, i can't say the west coast offense changed the game for the better.

NOOO! I'd didn't know he was battling cancer. damnit.
I did think what he did with SF was genius. always admired him for being so in control and two steps ahead of everyone else.

sorry to hear this.
RIP coach Walsh

a great coach, and a great guy. sorry to hear that he lost his battle with leukemia, but no doubt in my mind he would say he lived a full life, and has no regrets, nothing left undone. my sympathy to his family, who will feel his loss more than any football fan.

both good and bad. just think, what would they call the west coast offense if PB would have hired this guy instead of bill johnson?
