In 1979, Walsh was appointed head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, and under him the 49ers won Super Bowl championships in 1982, 1985 and 1989. Walsh served as 49ers head coach for twelve years and during his tenure he and his coaching staff perfected the style of play known popularly as the West Coast offense. He was responsible for drafting Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Charles Haley, and Jerry Rice. Walsh's successes with the 49ers were rewarded when he was elected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 1993. Among great football luminaries, perhaps none have had the same lasting impact or impeccable record. He is known as an offensive mastermind and his dramatic turnaround of the 49ers in the 1980s established the franchise as latter-day football's symbol of continual dominance and success. While he steered the team to just 3 Super Bowls, Walsh's hand-picked successor [George Seifert]] took the reins to Walsh's team, riding his coattails to the tune of two more Super Bowl wins.
