Bill Walsh was a boxer. That's why he was so obsessed with footwork. Anybody who knows boxing knows how important foot work is. So only a boxer could have ever innovated these idea into football. Thats also where beating them to the punch came from.

Don Coryell only got 114 wins, 89 losses and 1 tie (Includes Regular Season and Postseason) to his name whole leading the Cardinals to 2 division titles and the Chargers to 3 division titles and 4 playoff appearances. And all of those appearances he choked. His coaching tree included a Super Bowl winning coach in Joe Gibbs. Bill Walsh on the other hand has a solid 102-63-1 record under his belt, as well as 6 division titles, and three Super Bowls, all with the 49ers. And his coaching tree includes some Super Bowl Champions and great coaches. George Seifert, Mike Holmgren, Dennis Green, Ray Rhodes, Mike Shannahan, Andy Reid, Brian Billick, Jon Gruden, Tony Dungy, Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton, Mike McCarthy, Gary Kubiak, Doug Pederson, they're all on Walsh's coaching tree because they are WINNERS. Walsh is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for not only the three Super Bowls and and amazing coaching tree, but also for his offensive strategy and making the West Coast Offense more than just nickel and dime football. Coryell's offense is a copy of his mentor Sid Gillman's offense. It doesn't cut it. That's why he's not in the Hall of Fame. Therefore, your argument is invalid.

I don't say that as a knock on Walsh, just pointing out how difficult it is to succeed at this level of football, even for guys who at times made it look easy.

Wasn’t alive for that game but the Niners loss to Seattle in NFC championship was my worst experience even more so than the Ravens super bowl.

"West Coast Offense" was the name given to Sid Gillmans passing attack in the early 60's with the Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers. Although Walsh was greatly influenced by it he had made fundemental changes to where it was no longer the same thing. When a bay area journalist called his offense the West Coast Offense about a year after he took over Walsh was annoyed and said," Don't call it that. That is something completely different" But the name stuck despite what he wanted.

Greatest. Mind. Ever.Bill Walsh is awesome.

Walsh had the most success out of all the contemporaries that used his scheme. Obviously there has been huge success from those who used his method and it has largely grown in sophistication, however, I believe Walsh’s coaching and attention to details and fundamentals, made it the best. If you read his books he always talks mostly about footwork, drop backs, and rhythm. This is where he had everyone beat. When others use their time on expanding on the W.C.’s sophistication (including personal groupings and shotgun) Walsh kept on with the basics, mastered the basics, played under center (which had a lot to do with its success) and had Joe and Steve always go back to fundamentals (like keeping left knee flexed while throwing) and the drop backs. Joe and Steve even talk about it in this clip. It’s very underestimated and very important - a major reason for its multiple successes. It made for precision timing and decisiveness!

Something that doesn't get mentioned here is the fact that the rules were changing to open up the passing game. Timing routes are a huge part of the West Coast offense. Prior to the rule changes, they were not really possible, as receivers could not be counted on to be in a certain spot, at a certain time, because DBs could mug them all the way down the field, and O-Lineman could only block with their forearms, not their hands, which gave the quarterback far less time to throw. The WCO was a genius philosophy, but the rules changes in the late 70s that opened up the passing game are what made it possible.

I idealized Walsh's concepts of offense. I coached football back in the 80s and designed an offense around what I could devise by watching video tapes of 49er games. I drew up 7 plays which when flipped left to right became 14 plays. These were the most effective I could come up with and simple enough for each offensive player to grasp without spending hours on end learning 100 complex plays. After all these were amateurs with 9 to 5 jobs. In our first game on the very first drive we drove down the field and scored a TD. The plays (and concept) worked. They worked so well, the team went 11-0, winning the championship the first year. The second year with the exact same plays, a few new players, the team went 10-1, losing in the championship game. I moved away from the area the next year and never went back to offensive coaching. I did coach on the defensive side, going 11-0 and winning the championship the first year and losing one game the next year; no championship was played that year. I moved away from football after losing my wife and family to divorce after those stressful years. I understand how the pressure of perfection can effect a person. It consumes your every waking thought and you're always waiting for the shoe to drop, so to speak. R.I.P Mr. Walsh, a true genius of the game.

Al Davis actually was one of the pioneers of the precursors of the West Coast Offense- Al just called it the Vertical Game... Spreading the field vertically.

@RichardGustason

DangeRoss is correct. You look at the vertical game it was all downfield long passes. The West Coast was used, if you watched this, as a necessity because Virgil Carter could not go vertical so they used small pass plays that eventually would get the yards but also mess with defensive timing because the passes came out so quick. But you did bring up the word "precursors" which is fitting because of small passing plays it set up LaMonica to throw those bombs.

Bill Walsh worked for the Raiders in 1966 as the running backs coach and credited Davis for many innovations. Davis made sure to have scramble drill rules and how a play would develop late when it breaks down. Nobody else was doing that. The game changes slowly over the years, but sitting here in 2017, it is easy to look back and simplify ideas.

This is cool. Very interesting insights on their offense.

His real genius came in the 1981 playoff game against the Giants. While Lawrence Taylor was wreaking havoc on defence Walsh said "why not block Taylor with 2 more blockers". Leave the RB in pass protection and chip Taylor" Taylor was a non factor literally the whole game.

Would opening the tunnels in the end zones of The Meadowlands stadium to create a jet stream to effect the visiting team's ability to throw the ball in the red zone or kick a field goal fall under the definition of " questionable legal practices"? What is more of an advantage? You can still coach a defense without using phones for the first 10-15 plays of the game, regardless of what you think is or isn't a conspiracy. Deliberately creating a disadvantage that effects only the visiting team in crucial situations is more of an unfair advantage. Your mother has a red herring for a week every month. Get the fuck outta here.

Okay, I referring to this incident since you were the one complaining about it. Walsh gamed the system. Parcells called him out. You said Parcells was "bitching" about it. How is that any different from you complaining about the field goal gust. Obviously having a scripted set of opening plays is a huge advantage for the 9ers if the Giants defense isn't able to properly communicate. Surely you admit that, yes? There's not one side of innocent victims and one side of evil villains. They both gained advantages through gamesmanship. But you're the one who decided to call one of them out as "bitching". Don't be a hypocrite. And please keep it civil. There's no faster way to make yourself look like an ass than to act like a fourth grader during an argument.

Willie Boag Belichick also did the game plan to stop The Greatest Show On Turf against the Rams in the Super Bowl by running a Bump & Run Nickel package

"I can tell you when and where to throw the ball based on your feet". "What?"

He made a mistake by retiring too early...could have won at least 3 more championships

GOAT!!

That offense to replace runs with short and midrange passing is brilliant. It still had the idea of long drives like a 'smash mouth' approach. These pass heavy offenses after the 99 rams are just garbage. They put too much pressure on the defense. It's not even feast or famine cause a quick score still hurts their own defense

By my count more super bowls have been won by teams running an offense with roots back to the Air Coryell system than the so called West Coast Offense. 1981,1987/1991 Redskins. 1992,1993.1995 Cowboys. 1999 St Louis Rams. 2006 Colts.2007 Saints,2008 Steelers, 2015/2017 Patriots. Actually the 2007 record setting offense 16-0 patriots also used it,but they fell short. The GSOT was a tweaked and very robust version of Air Coryell and both the Colts and Patriots installed their versions of it.

1999 Rams were all about the West coast offense...They had the dual threat RB in Faulk and Wrs in Bruce and Holt that specialized in running after the catch.

@Michael Delfino Also in the Air Coryell offense running backs such as Terry Metcalf of the St.Louis Cardinals, Lydell Mitchell, Mike Thomas, the late great Chuck Muncie, James Brooks, Gary Anderson, & finally Lionel Little Train James who had 1,000 yards receiving during the 1985-86 season for the #1 ranked Air Coryell San Diego Chargers offensive juggernaut in both points & yards joined Roger Craig that same season Marshall Faulk of the '99 Rams as the only running backs in NFL single season history to record 1,000 yards receiving. The dual threat running back wasn't just sole province of the Bill Walsh misnamed West Coast offense as running backs such as Charley Taylor, Lenny Moore, Bobby Mitchell of the Baltimore Colts & Washington Redskins who all 3 were converted to wide receivers later in their respective careers, Marcus Allen of the Los Angeles Raiders, Chuck Foreman of the Minnesota Vikings, Wilbert Montgomery of the Philadelphia Eagles, Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers, Jim Kiick, Tony Nathan of the 1970's & 1980's Don Shula Miami Dolphins, & Preston Pearson & Tony Dorsett of the 1970's & 1980's Tom Landry Dallas Cowboys were all dual threat running backs long before Bill Walsh, George Seifert, Roger Craig, Ricky Watters & the misnamed West Coast offense came to San Francisco in 1979 ijs🤷🏾‍♂️.

Every coach who has so much success be like “YOUR FEET HAVE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!”

Great coaches change the game, of football.

Walsh was a genius.

best offense ever, look at some of the teams, that are undefeated.

The most exciting football ever.

So Joe Montana was a product of Bill Walsh he was a system player... I'm kidding, but that's how you idiots sound when you call Brady a product or system QB. EVERY QB IS A SYSTEM QB. Joe and Tom just have amazing football minds that they took the system their in or were in and made it even better.

absolutely wrong. you just can't assume because he had a pretty bad seaskn doesn't mean he wasn't in a different system. manning never really had his own system he learned the in and outs of the current system he was in and he did this each time he got a new coach and he eventually was creating the offensive game plan and terminology with the coaches. his rookie season although not the best statistically he sat down with his coaches to revamp the system while most quarteebacks struggle to just learn the system. he truly was a student of the game and when your a student of the game for 30+ years and remember everything every coach taught you then your going to be able to tell your coach and offensive coordinator how to beat certain coverages, run against certain fronts, protection from the blitz. after mannings 2011 injury his right tricep never fully recover because I'm pretty sure he had damage in his nerves but his arm strength was never the same and as a result he learned to compensate by getting a stronger core and legs and instead of trying to out gun the defense he just tried to control the ball with more timing routes and plays that would open coverages up such as four very against cover looks. manning in his early years was very interesting to watch because his play action game was so good I've seen move the entire back 7 defenders with a playfake and as a result of the linebackers and even ty law biting so hard down on the fake manning would throw to a wide open Marvin Harrison or Austin collie who was a beast at the time. I'm not saying Brady is dumb but if he were to instantly get a new offensive coordinator I highly doubt he would have learned it fully like the way manning did. I knowbbrady could do it but manning did it so good he would look at it anytime he could even when he was in the hottub letting his body relax after his workout.

Too bad. I lost a decent amount of money on that game

All bets were off when Jerry came to Town. Montana and Young were going long! Lol..

People only heard of the west coast offence when Montana played for Walsh. In college as well as in the Pro's Montana threw extremly accurate short passes, and was not very good at throwing a long ball. That changed when Rice joined the team and Montana quickly learned to throw a long ball in order to take advantage of Rice's considerable talent. Believe me if Walsh had coached Terry Bradshaw instead of Montana nobody would've ever heard of the West Coast offence.

@michaeldelfino1800

Two things about what you said...Many of the "long" balls to RIce were actually short slants that turned into long balls. So in reality it didn't change much. Before RIce it was Freddie Solomon in that role. Freddie obviously wasn't as good as Rice but he was good and had deep speed and Montana when needed would stretch the defense by throwing long to him. But again, much of the Walsh passing was slants and outs designed to take advantage of the run after the catch--something Rice did better than anybody. Also, if Walsh had Terry Bradshaw he still would have done a similar thing since Bradshaw had some mobility. And if he didn't have enough, he would have traded Bradshaw as he got older for a QB that could. Steve DeBerg was no Bradshaw of course but he put up some great numbers under Walsh in 1979 and 1980 but he wasn't mobile and threw too many interceptions so when Montana was ready, DeBerg was traded to Denver in 1981. That's how Bill operated.

Michael Delfino Montana threw long balls to Rice. Its a fact. To bad you never saw that. Of course Montana to Rice on the slant was just about a guarantee 10 yards. Had Bradshaw in his prime played for Walsh, like Noll, Walsh would've took advantage of Bradshaws considerable talent, and the offence would have been called "The Bombs Away Bill Offence" LOL. To bad you never saw Bradshaw play.

t radar0412 Too bad I never saw that (Montana to RIce???? Are you kidding me? I;ve been a 49ers season ticket holder since 1974 (started going when I was 7). I saw EVERY one of them. I also saw a legion of very mediocre 49er QBs prior to Montana--Norm Snead, Tom Owen, Joe Reed, Scott Bull, Jim Plunket (in his 49er days he wasn't that good--blossomed with Raiders), etc...Saw my share. I didn't say Montana didn't throw long to Rice. He threw long to Rice. And he threw long to Freddie Solomon. But my point was that many of those "long" passes to Rice were also in fact 10-15 yard slants that Rice was able to out sprint the D and turn them into 80 yard plays. That's not a knock on Montana in any way. I worship the guy. My point was the play design was for it to be a 10-15 yard slant. Montana's passes were perfect and so was Jerry's routes and so was the timing and the play would end up being 80 yards. There were lots of those types of plays. Montana and Rice only played 6 seasons together. Montana was hurt in 1991 and 1992 and only played in the season finale of 1992 against Detroit. Montana had 6 seasons in the league before Rice was even there. SO yes i agree he threw long but there were also plenty of shorter plays turned into longer plays. And yes I saw Bradshaw play many times...Mostly on TV. Once in person against the 49ers--Monday night in 1978. No question he threw long too...Swan and Stallworth and others. I'm sure Walsh would have made Bradshaw even better than he was. That was no knock on Bradshaw. Walsh would have made anyone v=better. But Walsh didn't mess around...If you didn;t fit his system you were gone. And that meant anyone. My bad if that came out as a knock on Bradshaw. He was great. But no matter who he coached he still would have developed that offense eventually. No matter what it would have been ultimately called.
