Yikes, I would have thought that a school like Stanford would employ some sort of fact checker. In the 19th paragraph it claims Bill Walsh was a two-time NFL Coach of the Year, the truth is that Walsh won the award once, in 1981.

Well, according to the NFL's own web site, he was indeed coach of the year twice, in 1981 and 1984: <http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/SF/10274969>. On the other hand, according the Wikipedia article, it depends on which organization's COTY award you're referring to: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Coach_of_the_Year_Award>.
