Walsh spent the past five years coaching quarterbacks in the Canadian Football League, most recently with the Ottawa Redblacks.

In his NFL career, Walsh played for six teams and started 38 games, throwing 40 touchdown passes and leading the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears to the playoffs as their starting quarterback.
After his playing career, Walsh coached at Cardinal Newman High School in West Palm Beach, Fla., and worked at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
