|  #1 Posted on 30.7.07 1409.39 | Instant Rating: 4.00 | Sirius NFL Radio is reporting that Bill Walsh has passed. He had been battling Leukemia.
One of the all time great NFL coaches, while he may get more credit than he deserves for the West-Coast offense, he did refine that system and bring it to a level never before seen in the NFL.

RIP
