Beemnseven:

Walsh is on Gillman's "Coaching Tree" (2nd. genertation). Al Davis worked under Gillman, & Walsh worked under Al Davis (BEFORE he worked with Paul Brown).

Walsh began his pro coaching career in 1966 as an assistant with the AFL's Oakland Raiders. As a Raider assistant, Walsh was trained in the vertical passing offense favored by Al Davis, putting Walsh in Davis' mentor Sid Gillman's coaching tree.
