Former NFL Coach Bill Walsh has Passed On
A legendary coach in the world of football passed away today. Fox News Reports:
Bill Walsh, the groundbreaking football coach who won three Super Bowls and perfected the ingenious schemes that became known as the West Coast offense during a Hall of Fame career with the San Francisco 49ers, has died. He was 75.
Walsh died at his Woodside home Monday morning following a long battle with leukemia.
“This is just a tremendous loss for all of us, especially to the Bay Area because of what he meant to the 49ers,” said Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, the player most closely linked to Walsh’s tenure with the team. “For me personally, outside of my dad he was probably the most influential person in my life. I am going to miss him.”
The sport has lost a legend. Mr. Walsh will be missed not only by those in San Francisco and at Stanford but by those of us who remember the many thrills his 49ers provided fans everywhere.
Our condolences are extended to his family and to those who knew him best through the sport he loved.
