Unfortunately one of the main men responsible for making the NFL what it is today has passed away, creator of the West Coast Offense, Bill Walsh. I just wanted to pay some respect to Coach Walsh as he is probably the most influential coach in all of football over the last 20-25 years. Versions of his west coast offensive gameplan are implemented week in and week out by every team in the league and has changed the how the game is played not only on offense, but also defense. Whether 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd generation disciples, there are very few coaches over the past two decades that haven't in some way descended from Walsh's coaching tree. As a lifelong football fan I'd just like to say thanks to a man that was an inovator and pioneer in making the game what it is today.
