I remember that your offensive coordinator had some pretty specific ideas about what plays he wanted you to run. You’re one of the few quarterbacks in the NFL to be calling your own plays. How did you negotiate with him? How did you prepare so that you could get the plays run like you wanted and not have a conflict with him? Steve Young: On campus, you're Bill Walsh. I could spend the next hour and fifteen minutes talking about Bill Walsh and I'll have you weeping about how great a coach he was, how innovative, ahead of the game and enlightened he was and how he brought football into the next generation. Football was archaic. Every coach used a whip and never used to carry it very effectively.

That was the old way. "I'm going to break these guys." Bill was like "Give them some water. They're thirsty. Let's not pound them into submission." He was just an enlightened guy. Being here on campus, Stanford gets to take a lot of credit for that. He was in Silicon Valley before Andy Grove..... I don't know if that's true. I'm going to be on YouTube so I've got to be careful. Bill gets a lot of credit for being in Silicon Valley before anyone, even before Steve Jobs started Apple. Bill was doing that in 1981 or '82, that enlightened kind of human relations. One of Bill's soft spots, for me, was that he loved to come up with great ideas. He was ingenious.

I think it'll really work." I don't know if he'd be "Oh, that's nice," but I say "Bill, that play you brought up yesterday was really interesting. Think about if this guy went this way and that way. What do you think about that?" He'd be like ...
