Tom Walsh is a former NFL assistant coach, most recently with the Oakland Raiders. He was hired in February, 2006, as offensive coordinator by head coach Art Shell[1] but demoted before the end of the 2006 season and replaced by John Shoop.[2] After leaving the Raiders, Walsh stated that Randy Moss, whom he coached in Oakland, was "a player whose skills are diminishing."[3] Moss went on to break the single season touchdown reception record in 2007 after being traded to the New England Patriots.
Walsh spent the past several years operating a bed and breakfast in Swan Valley, Idaho[4] and served as the town's mayor.[1] Prior to this, he had been the head football coach at Idaho State University.
