Bill Walsh was really a fantastic leader. I admired him. Three things you mentioned really stick out in my memory- his self control under pressure, which not all football coaches possess, having a positive attitude, and good sportsmanship- no hot dogging on those teams.

He prepared for every contingency before the game.
Best example: 1987 49er beats bengals on a TD pass with no time left. 27-26. They were down 26-20 and Walsh said he had a play for that situation

I remember that game well. I was rooting for the Bengals.
