NFL Jonesin’: Remembering Bill Walsh

I have the utmost respect for Bill Walsh as both a person and a football coach. I felt the ripple effect of his death all the way here Missouri, as my brother is a football coach. He viewed Walsh as a hero. This “Bill Walsh Coaching Tree” can describe the effect he had on the game I love better than anything I can type here. I’m not sure one man has ever left a bigger imprint on the game of football. You will be missed and remembered, and not just by San Fransisco 49ers fans, but by all of us who have a passion for the NFL. You turned football into a thinking man’s game. You turned red-faced, hoarse-voiced coaches into teachers. You turned Rice-Montana into a pigskin symphony that will never be replicated (no offense, Marvin and Peyton).

There will never, ever be another Bill Walsh. Believe that.
