Do you mean coach Bill Walsh ?
yes that's the guy. I was in his kitchen and he commented on my wearing a Cincinnati Begals shirt and asked me where I got it. "We moved them sometime back and had to wear this down on the field" was the answer. I only found out years later that he was a coach there as well.

I really wish we had digital cameras back then. There was a booster for the Saints who would meet the team every time they came out to go to the buses. He had a standing wager with them that if they lost, he would wear a plastic model of a house fly on his head. NEVER saw him without it for four years moving the teams. Wish I had taken his picture.
