RIP Bill Walsh Life

Bill Walsh

The man who made me a 49ers fan died today.  Thanks for the great times, Bill!

My dad and I really bonded watching the 1981 Superbowl run, especially "The Catch."   Then in the 1984 season, and a freshman in college, I didn't have a TV in my dorm room.  So every Sunday I would get up early (10am is early for a college student) and watch the games in the common room.  That Superbowl was played in my home town so I went home to experience all of the hype.

Even the years where they didn't win the Superbowl were great years.  I always like the way they won with class.  No showboating or pomp.  They really made it easy to be a fan.

Today, the "West Coast Offense" still proves to be proven success and many of Walsh's assistant coaches are all successful themselves. 

Thanks again, Bill!

Feel free to donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
