Hall-of-Fame head coach Bill Walsh, whose West Coast offense made a mediocre at best 49ers team into a dynasty in the 1980s, has died at age 75 of leukemia.

Walsh led the 49ers to three Super Bowl championships, retiring after the team won Super Bowl XXIII. He moved on to other things, working as a broadcaster, coaching at Stanford, and returning to the San Fran front office, but those years as the head coach of the Niners always were the brightest lights of his football resume.

Walsh has been battling leukemia for a while. We received word of his passing from KGO-TV in San Francisco.

Mainly because I have family that are football fans, I watched a lot of 49ers football during the Bill Walsh era... he built up the 'dream team' for the 49ers... they haven't been the same since. Sad to see such a legendary coach pass on.

Greatest offensive mind in the sport of football and in my opinion the best coach of all times. They're still using the west coast offense...the man was a pioneer and a winner.
