Who is Tom Walsh?

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 but demoted before the end of the 2006 season and replaced by John Shoop. After leaving the Raiders, Walsh stated that Randy Moss, whom he coached in Oakland, was "a player whose skills are diminishing."
