got a job in TV and tried to be the new madden. unfortunately he wasn't a clown, just a dry analyst, and didn't reach the madden heights

walsh himself later admitted he left too early

quote:

A source familiar with television-industry negotiations estimated that NBC would pay Walsh $750,000 a year, or more than double what he would have received from the 49ers.

Niners would probably have another 2 or 3 Super Bowls had he stuck around another 5-7 years

Burnout. Walsh was a genius but he didn't have the insatiable desire for winning like a Phil Jackson, John Wooden, Alex Ferguson, Scotty Bowman.

I heard that he believed that you should not be at an organization for more than 10 years. More money makes more sense though.

Didn't he go to Stanford after that? Plus George Seifert was waiting in the wings
