Espn is reporting he died at 75. But instead of running a breaking news story they chose to talk about Vick. That is just sorry! Bill Walsh meant more to the sport of Football than Vick could of ever dreamed of and they cut the story of Walsh passing away to talk about Vick.

I also noticed that Tom Snyder died of leukemia complications today.

RIP Coach the master-mind of our current offense in the entire NFL .....

[gblowfish]

Great Coach, a Hall of Famer, and a marvelous innovative football coach, like the Paul Brown of the 1980s.

I have great respect for the 49ers, and feel sorry for their loss.

49er fans feel today like Chiefs fans felt when Hank Stram passed away.

That's why you have to appreciate good people while they're here.

RIP coach. You are easily one of the greatest.

Typical ESPN though. They will run Vick into the ground.

[Amnorix]

RIP. Nothing but respect for a terrific football mind and coach.

RIP dude.

I was wondering when Tammy Faye died if the 'everything comes in threes' would come into play.

[kepp]

Wow...I had to do a double-take at the thread title. RIP coach.
