He will be missed, a definite pioneer in the west coast offense, a winner in every sense of the word..

May he RIP

It is a loss in the football world. Even though I am a die hard Cowboys fan, Bill Walsh was an innovator much like Landry (creator of the 4-3 defense). During the nineteen eighties, I did not like him while he was coaching the NINER's to titles (3), however, I always did and will respect and remember him vivdly.
