Bill Walsh has passed away. A fond farewell to the cerebral genius who reminds me so much of Bill Belichick.

NPC: Bill Walsh dead

This is just in. Walsh dead following complications from leukemia.

More reports will come in soon from all over.

No small deal here, 4 SBs, inventor of the West Coast offense, etc. Huge loss for all of pro football.

Re: NPC: Bill Walsh dead

Terribly sad to hear this. Walsh was a transforming force in football -- the coach as cerebral chessmaster, a tradition Belichick obviously follows in. Will be sorely missed.

What a loss. A real football genius, a true gentleman, a tactician and a visionary. This truly sucks.

This is a true loss. He was a great coach and a great person.

R.I.P Mr. Walsh.

 

[rabthepat]

Sad to hear. He was a terrific coach.

If there was ever a coach I could put above Belichick it would have been Bill Walsh - The man was an absolute brilliant football professor,Would expect the 49ers some day to change the name of thier stadium to Walsh Stadium,He deserves that much respect...R.I.P. Mr.Walsh

 

[wistahpatsfan]

RIP to one of, if not the greatest NFL coach of all. A true innovator and champion.

Bill Walsh wasn't just and X's and O's guy. He really understood the quarterback position. He visited the 49ers training camp a few years back and gave the QBs some coaching on their drops, footwork and the like. Every QB sang his praises when it came to that advice.

RIP, Bill.

Regards,
Chris

I know he's not a Patriot, but lets give it up to the man who invented the West Coast offense.
