There's some good info/commentary on Walsh in Michael Lewis's book on football.

At least he will be able to join his son Adam in heaven.

4 superbowl titles. Even with the stack teams he did have, it is hard not to say he is one of the best coaches of all time.

The single most influential person in football over the last 30 years.

Give'em hell up there, Bill.

I was at the last game he coached.

Definately. I'm a Niners fan but was a little too young to appreciate just how much Walsh did to revolutionize the franchise and teh game itself until I read "The Blind Side." I think any niner fan (or football fan in general) should pick it up.

Man this sucks. He was part of my youth - Niners dynasty, Walsh on the sidelines, Madden and Summerall calling all those huge games on CBS - usually some combination of the Niners, Redskins, and Cowboys. Very sad.
