Bill Walsh & The Niners

[DeacWatcher]

I am certainly no fan of Walsh & the 49ers, but he certainly deserves the respect that he gets. While scanning coacheshotseat.com today to see if Grobe made an appearance (he didn't), I ventured into the NFL part and came across the Walsh coaching tree. It is pretty amazing that some many great head coaches have come off that bloodline.

They forgot Sean Payton under Fassel.

Jeff Fisher shouldn't be under Seifert...he only coached under him for a season or two. Fisher is a Buddy Ryan guy.

The Andy Reid branch should have more on it. In addition to Childress, John Harbaugh, Steve Spagnuolo, Leslie Frazier, Ron Rivera and Pat Shurmur should all be on there.

Add Jim Caldwell under Dungy. NOW you have an impressive list!

Who are the 10 coaches that Bill Walsh worked under before he got his first HC gig? Where's that branch?

Seifert was awesome for the Panthers. Maybe because he didn't have multiple hall of famers on his roster?
