Singletary, now in his second season as a 49ers assistant, said Walsh graciously tutored him on everything from schemes to scheduling to psychology.
”There were times that I would fly out from Chicago, have dinner with Bill, then turn around and fly back home again,” Singletary said of his early forays into coaching. ”That’s how much I respected him.”

I'm just saying. Neither a close relationship with Walsh, nor a desire to emulate him are precursors to success.
Further, what is the difference between Singletary's desire for a Ditka, 85-Bears offense, and Harbaugh's seeming desire for a Walsh, 89-49ers offense? Are both not out-dated in today's NFL?
I am not criticizing Harbaugh, just questioning the merits of the praise he seems to garner from the fans and media alike.

And you are?
Apparently a feeble free styler.
And you are?
Rebecca Black?
Probably more likely than Miss Montana.

I dont wanna go into details, but as far as i can remeber (1981), Walsh traded for player(s) that knows will help his team for at least the upcoming year or so..
He also wasn't afraid to give up high draft choices in order to lure players who can start a strong foundation.
Last but not the least, he would always use his late picks to those that he called "damaged goods".. player who once had a very good future until injury pulled them down..
He often spoke about developing players by putting them in a situation where they will succeed and build their confidence up high..

What gets me is how "small" the OL linemen were in the 70's. John Ayers at 238 lbs playing OG? Wow...!

This was not the norm for the league as a whole. Bobb McKittrick preferred his OL a bit slight in the
LB department. IHO, it gave them an advantage over the DL, when executing blocking schemes and
pass protection, within Walsh' WCO.
