“There's so much to orchestrate.” Bill Walsh Quotes  
IN THE PAST 

Tags: Bill Walsh, football, NFL, coach, 49ers, Fame, winning, San Fran, best, said, saying, quote

If football was checkers, Bill Walsh made it chess. The head football coach of the San Francisco 49ers and Stanford University single-handedly popularized the West Coast Offense. Walsh is widely considered to be one of the best and most revolutionary football coaches of all time. Walsh died at his Woodside home on the morning of July 30, 2007, following a long battle with leukemia. This is a look back at some of the great things he's said:

	A harsh reality of newspaper editing is that the deadlines don't allow for the polish that you expect in books or even magazines.
	I caution against beginning or ending a quotation with ellipses.
	If any sort of error is inexcusable, it's an incorrect phone number. One of the cardinal rules of copy editing is that every phone number published must be checked.
	Machines aren't replacing proofreaders at all. Copy editors, who proofread and much, much more, use spellcheck as a tool but read every word that appears in the paper.
	Writers' bedtimes vary, but few have been spared the shock of a copy editor's early wake-up call.
	Writing headlines is a specialty - there are outstanding writers who will tell you they couldn't write a headline to save their lives.
	Nothing is more effective than sincere, accurate praise, and nothing is more lame than a cookie-cutter compliment.
	There's so much to orchestrate.
	I did have a margarita, which I typically did just before I went to bed.
