I’m a Cowboy fan, but you have to respect what he did as a coach. Condolences to the Walsh family.

Even though his 9ers beat my Saints twice a year for many years, I loved watching Bill’s team play. A man of grace and charm, who will forever be known to my S.F. 9er fan friends as simply “the Genius.”

This is a man who emphasized intelligence and character above raw athletic ability. He'll be missed.

Bill Walsh was part of a great era in football. While he coached the 49’ers it was tough as hell to beat them.
To: AngelesCrestHighway
I was living in San Francisco during that time (and after), and Bill Walsh made himself available whenever possible for community outreach, charity events, and encouraged his players to remember the fans who supported them through the lean years as well.
I always thought the team was an extension of Bill’s heart.

We lived on the SF Peninsula (near the SF Airport) during the Walsh years. He was exactly as Right Cal Gal states. He worked tirelessly for the team, the fans and the community. He also had a great sense of humor.
I remember the Niners first Superbowl. Walsh dressed up like a bellman and stood outside the bus as the players came off. Walsh took Montan's bag and it took Montana a couple seconds to realize who Walsh was. It was a great thing to watch.

I was living in the SF area during the Walsh years as well. A wonderful man. A class act. A great team. RIP Coach Walsh.
To: STARWISE; Right Cal Gal
I, too, was fortunate to have worked in "The City" during the Walsh-Era. And it really was. It was 49'er Fever in the Financial District whenever the team played.
And the SuperBowl parties! Some lasted for days. So did the hangovers...
Those days are long gone; and now so is he.
RIP, Coach Walsh. Another icon passes..

Amen to that. The "Thinking Man" coach of professional football.

Wow...didn't know he was sick.
Always admired his coaching abilities.....even though I wasn't a 49'er fan.
The 49'ers whooped up on my Ram's too many times to count.....
