coach bill walsh (1931-2007)
coach bill walsh will always be one of my sports heroes and the epitome of class and innovative offensive schemes and a great judge of athletic talent as well as opening up the door for minorities to head coach in the nfl.an amazing 40 assistant coaches have come from bill walsh’s coaching tree and gone on to become nfl head coaches over the past 19 years since walsh retired. plus, another 6 have gone on to become head coaches in college with pete carroll winning 2 national titles with usc and 3 of the 6 being black head coaches (dennis green, tyrone willingham and karl dorrell).
the coaching tree above is actually not complete… here are more head coaches in walsh’s coaching tree, plus a high percentage of all black head coaches in the nfl’s history come from walsh’s coaching tree—that’s 7 of 9 with only art shell and romeo crennel not from walsh’s coaching tree… now that’s simply astounding:
marvin lewis (bengals)
herm edwards (chiefs, jets)
mike nolan (49ers)
norv turner (chargers)
sean payton (saints)
pete carroll (patriots & jets)
dick jauron (bills, bears)
gregg williams (bills)
jim mora, jr. (falcons)
chuck studley (oilers)
david shula (bengals)
dick lebeau (bengals)
mike white (raiders)
lane kiffin (raiders)
nfl head coaches & assistant coaches who became college head coaches afterwards:
dennis green (stanford, northwestern)
tyronne willingham (washington, notre dame, stanford)
pete carroll (usc)
paul hackett (usc, pitt)
karl dorrell (ucla)
tom holmoe (cal)
they are or have coached in the following conferences: pac-10, big 10, big east and independent.
