Looks like Wiki Machado went on vacation again. Might as well finish it off.........
Machado wrote:Over here, in this part of the world, people give Walsh all the credit. Why? Because Walsh won the big games. What did that other guy do? Not a damn thing.
Fact.
Walsh trained under Al Davis putting Walsh under Davis's mentor Sid Gillman's coaching tree of the West Coast Offense. Then Walsh was trained under Paul Brown, where Paul Brown and Bill Wash took Sid's WCO and modified it into their version. With the Bengals, not with the Niners.
Then after Wiki machado glanced at Browns page......

Legendary Cowboys coach Tom Landry: "The person who influenced me the most was Paul Brown." Ever heard of TOM LANDRY?

Brown's coaching tree, which is so large it is sometimes called a "forest"
DON SHULA: My 33 years as an NFL head coach, that was pretty much from the Paul Brown playbook. Chuck Noll did the same thing. He took it and did some pretty good things in Pittsburgh, won four Super Bowls.
Bill Belichick: There's nobody in the game that I have more respect for than Paul Brown, the father of pro football.
Jim Brown: Football really started here in Ohio and it was started by a man named Paul Brown
"The Walsh offense owes much to the past. As a Raiders' assistant in 1966, Walsh learned under Al Davis and John Rauch, who was the Raider's head coach. Raiders football was based on the theories of Sid Gillman. Al Davis had taken Gillman one step further. This system became the basis of Walsh's offense."
Machado: There is a difference between winners and losers!
