He gave birth to one of the greatest offenses the NFL has ever seen, but he coached with honey and not vinegar. I never heard someone ever mentioning a bad word about him. |

WOW.
What a significant loss to the NFL family. A charasmatic man that put his talents to work and brought the city of San Francisco 3 Super Bowls and 6 division titles. A truly awesome coach.
RIP Bill, my thoughts to his family.

sadly his son, aged 46, also died of leukemia a number of years ago. that must have made bill's diagnosis that more bitter..
