Bill Walsh : The open heart surgeon of the NFL with the most meticulous precision ever known. RIP Coach Walsh

This should be required viewing once a year.

A huge thanks to Bill Walsh for the 49er dynasty. I’m fully aware of how spoiled I am due to his results - which makes me difficult to please with the modern day 49ers. I need to curb my expectations, nobody will ever match the legacy and results of Walsh.

I've gotten to meet a lot of these 49ers from my favorite team but never Walsh, I'm sorry I didn't. A great piece of art was this video.

The 80s NFL truly was a 4 way NFC WAR between the 49ers, Bears, Redskins and Giants.
Walsh, Ditka(Ryan), Gibbs and Parcells.

This is a truly unique and exceptional episode, just like the man, Coach Bill Walsh.

Good to hear from Dick Enberg in this documentary. None were classier in sports broadcasting than he. He had a gracious way of bragging those he covered up without coming across as pretentious or fake.

Raiders fan my whole life save the first 4 years before I discovered the greatest game on Earth. Yet I always loved Bill Walsh and many years wished Al could bring him over the Bay Bridge to the dark side. Oh well, we got Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice eventually, lol. It was fun hating the Niners when both clubs on the Bay were great. Just nostalgia now. Great video on one of the best coaches in any game ever at any level.

Raider fan here. Bill Walsh doesn't get the credi he should. He's the Mark Messier of the history in the NFL.

The greatest coach of all time! Period end of storey. He changed the game.

[Ryan]

I had a manager who liked creative tension always creating a sense of insecurity around the job you were doing. I can see why Bill Walsh’s players didn’t like him while he was their coach.

I see Bill Walsh and I think of Lombardi, in one way he used to say “we will relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we won’t catch it, but in the process we will grasp excellence” and in another way when Lombardi was asked “has this become a game for mad men and am I the craziest one of all?”

Great Quote by Ronnie Lott @1:06:10 To get to greatness one has to overcome they're weakness. What I take away from Bill Walsh was his ability to overcome in the good times & the bad times. Jesus gave us all this ability through his Love at the Cross.

As a Raider fan, I always respect the 49ers because of Joe Montana. He was the first player in football I ever known and his team was really so special. And the man behind that team was Bill Walsh. He was probably the most intelligent coach I ever known in football because of his West Coast offense and that’s why the 49ers became one of the most successful franchise in the history of the NFL and I always respect Mr. Walsh so much.

Sheer genius I remember those 49er’s team simply flawless

Bill Walsh....the absolute bane of my football fandom existence as having my N.O. Saints come up short to win the NFC West Division Title in most years but actually 3 seasons where our 2nd place record would've won each of the other NFC divisions and I know certainly 2 of those seasons we failed to win division and 1 yr totally missed the post season as a Wildcard because of tie breaker scenarios. Respectively 12-4, 11-5 and 10-6 were all Saints 2nd place team records with the 10 win team home watching the playoffs instead of competing in them!!!! Especially after we SUCKED the first 20 years of the franchise and then we finally had a pulse and real hope to succeed then quickly remembered that we the Saints and Atlanta Falcons for some dumbass reason were in NFC West (Cowgirls and Cardinals fighting against division placement based on team location) yet not being remotely close to that area. Ultimately NFL smartened up a bit and placed teams in division's based on ea teams region of the

The Bible of NFL history the Bill Walsh book it teaches you how to be a NFL head coach and inside the book Delivers you the proper information based on facts

The thing was, Bill was correct in 1988. If they had made the KC trade they would have drafted Derrick Thomas and Michael Irvin. Book end pass rushers Charles Haley and Thomas, book end wide outs in Rice and Irvin. They probably would've gone undefeated.

To be so successful as a coach and be such an easy going person.
