San Francisco 49ers legendary head coach Bill Walsh was voted as the second-best coach in NFL history, behind only Vince Lombardi.
Many 49er fans and others will argue that Walsh should in fact be in the top spot, and would have a very good point in doing so. But the vote, conducted by the ESPN, is in honor of the 100th birthday of Lombardi himself, so he sort of defaults into the top spot (not that he can't get there on his own merit. After all, the Super Bowl trophy is named after him).
Ninernoise.com has a good comparison of the two coaches, but the real treat is a spectacular infographic of Bill Walsh's coaching tree. Head over to ninernoise.com to see it.
