Bill Walsh, the imaginative and charismatic coach who took over a downtrodden 49ers team and built one of the greatest franchises in NFL history, died Monday morning at his home in Woodside at the age of 75, after a three-year struggle with leukemia.
A master of using short, precisely timed passes to control the ball in what became known as the West Coast offense, he guided the team to three Super Bowl championships and six NFC West division titles in his 10 years as head coach.
Bill Walsh Passes!
Re: Bill Walsh Passes!
It was his style of winning football that made me change my loyalty from the Rams to the 49ers. Now that's a huge change to say the least. May he rest in peace.
