Kyle seems to like young, upcoming coaches that takes the grind to be a better coach.

Wes Welker is the next head coach of an NFL team in probably 5+ years. I *hope* Kyle has so much success that half the NFL will be populated by coaches from his coaching tree. That happened once to one of our coaches a decade and a half ago,

Why wait. If he grow some hair to look more like Sean McVay, he could be hired next year. No experience required

Dennis "Maestro" Erickson's tree of course.

I might be from that tree. Might explain why I have no coaching job.

Anthony Lynn was a player turned coach, but not a decade and a half. Don't know. The only player from the 2004 team that I know is currently coaching is Bryant Young.

Here you go, had to go hunt the article down before I responded. Sorry I got the timeline wrong. It was in mid to late 2000's.

Today, 14 of the NFL's 32 head coaches are either direct descendants or second- and-third generation disciples of the Walsh coaching empire.
Certainly you can argue that the many branches extending from the legends and lessons of Paul Brown, George Halas, Sid Gillman, Tom Landry and Al Davis exerted considerable influence of their own.
But Walsh, who began under Gillman and Davis with the Raiders in 1966, might have the grandest legacy of them all.

P.S. Bill Bellicheat's assistants haven't done as well as Bill Walsh's assistants for some reason. I think one reason is that Bellicheat isn't a very good Head Coach teacher, in my opinion.

"Walsh was so upset he was passed over as Bengals head coach by Paul Brown (in 1976) that he promised himself that if he ever did get a head coaching job, he would make it a point to help develop other coaches. He started what I think is the most productive coaching tree in pro sports history, not just in the NFL."
Consider that such Walsh disciples as George Seifert, Mike Shanahan, Mike Holmgren and Pederson have won Super Bowls.
"He knew how to train coaches and he concentrated on it and it meant a lot to him to see them become successful coaches," Glauber says.

Y'all sleeping on the coaching genius that was Mike Nolan, look at all the future HC's that worked under him:


Mike Singletary
Mike McCarthy
Ben McAdoo
Vance Joseph
Adam Gase
Jim Tomsula

I read some where that BB put so much work on his assistants, that they don't have time for anything else beyond the scope of their coaching position. Seems to make sense as to part of the reason they aren't successful compared to Walsh's guys.

(McCarthy was pretty decent)
