His influence is pretty palpable
Like alot of other posters, I too kinda hated the 49ers. Montana irked me to no end for some unknown reason (probably because my cousing LOVED him).
but check this out:

all of these coaches, in one way or another, were directly influenced by him...and there's some pretty bona fide great coaches in that mix.
as for his style, I'll take nifty passing over pound the ball down the middle any day. But then I'm a Packer fan - so of course I loved Holmgren's Walsh-inspired offense.
