West Coast Offense is a term for an offensive system that relies on short passing and gaining yards after the catch. It was called The West Coast Offense when an interview by Paul Zimmermann with quarterback Bernie Kosar was mistakenly interpreted as discussing the offense of San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh.

What is the west coast offense in American football?
The popular term "West Coast Offense" is more of a philosophy and an approach to the game than it is a set of plays or formations. Traditional offensive thinking argues that a team must establish its running game first, which will draw the defense in and open up vertical passing lanes downfield (i.e., passing lanes that run perpendicular to the line of scrimmage). Bill Walsh's West Coast Offense, however, differs from traditional offense by instead emphasizing a short, horizontal passing attack to help stretch the defense out, thus opening up running lanes. The West Coast Offense as implemented under Walsh features precisely run pass patterns by the receivers that make up about 65% to 80% of the offensive scheme. With the defense stretched out, the offense is then free to focus the remaining plays on longer throws (more than 14 yards) and mid to long yard rushes.

What new offensive scheme is former 49ers head coach bill Walsh credited with creating?
Walsh created an offense tailored toward short passing and requiring receivers to run after the catch for their yardage. The offense was dubbed The West Coast Offense after writer Paul Zimmermann, in an interview with quarterback Bernie Kosar, quoted Kosar discussing offenses such as Walsh's as well as the more aggressive downfield attacks favored by the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers. The term West Coast Offense became attached to Walsh's offense, although Walsh himself, according to Zimmermann, complained to him that the term was misapplied - "He called me up all (ticked) off, saying 'That's not my offense.'"
