NFL Coaching Tree

I've always thought it was cool the way various coaches in the NFL have history working on coaching staffs of other coaches before getting their starts. I want to try and start tracking the history of NFL coaching trees. I will need help filling in some gaps. For instance, New Orleans' Sean Payton worked on the staffs of Bill Parcells and Jim Fassel before getting his first head coaching job in the NFL, so he would have uplines to both coaches.

Bill Walsh

NFL Head Coaches who worked on Walsh's staff before getting his first head coaching job:

Mike Holmgren
Mike Shanahan
George Seifert
Dennis Green

Can you name any I'm missing?

The March 12th issue of Sports Illustrated has an article on Bill Walsh that includes a chart of all the head coaches who either played for Walsh, worked under Walsh, or worked under Walsh disciples.

The others who worked for Walsh when he was head coach include Bruce Coslet, Ray Rhodes, Sam Wyche, Brian Billick, Rod Dowhower, and Mike White. Coslet, Rhodes, and Wyche also played for Walsh, and so did Tony Dungy.
