Mr. Walsh returned to
the organization as Vice
President/General Manager January
20, 1999 with a plan to correct San
Francisco's salary cap problems and
restock the roster with young,
talented players. Under his
leadership, the 49ers landed 11
players in the 2000 draft, including
five rookie starters on defense, and
have trimmed the salary cap overruns
to manageable levels without
sacrificing too much talent. It was
the second time the Hall of Famer
was able to right the 49ers ship.
Under Bill Walsh's direction the
49ers experienced heights of victory
never reached prior to his arrival
as head coach in 1979. During the
10-year tenure (1979-88), he laid
the foundation of success that the
49ers have achieved over the last 20
years, including the beginning
(1983) of an unprecedented streak of
16 consecutive 10-win seasons.
Under Bill Walsh's direction, the
49ers won three Super Bowl titles
(1981, '84 and '88), made seven NFC
postseason appearances and claimed
six NFC West division championships.
He was twice named NFL
Coach-of-the-Year (1981, 1984) and
was later named NFL
Coach-of-the-Decade for the 1980s.
Mr. Bill Walsh became one of only 14
coaches in the history of
professional football to be elected
to the Hall of Fame, when he was
enshrined in 1993. After 10 seasons
with San Francisco, Bill Walsh
joined NBC Sports in 1989 and teamed
with award-winning announcer Dick
Enberg for three seasons as the
network's top analyst on NFL and
Notre Dame telecasts.
