The Philosophy of Bill Walsh
I'm not going to post the whole thing because this is a long, long, long article. Too many great parts to paraphrase it. But it's about Bill Walsh's insane drive to be a perfectionist and a book he wrote that's considered the bible for football coaches to this day. It follows a high school coach that got into coaching because of Andy Reid. It shows how far ahead of his time Bill Walsh was, and features Vermeil, Al Saunders, Belichick, Urban Meyer, Brian Billick and others. If you like football it's a great read.

I have a hard time considering anything from that era the "greatest" because some teams clearly got it and were so ahead of the curve (like the 49ers) and some teams were the Jets...and there was no salary cap and the parity was really, really low.
Today...the best of the best still rise to the top but the playing field is totally level. Back then, it wasn't. |

An accurate armed QB with quick feet and a good pass rush in the 4th qrt is Bill Walsh's philosophy to winning.

Thinking Jake Plummer was going to be awesome must have killed him.
