EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos announced on Monday that offensive coordinator and receivers coach Carson Walch will not be returning to the club for the 2018 season as he has accepted the position of assistant wide receivers coach for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.
“We’d like to thank Carson for his contributions to the Eskimos for the past two seasons and we wish him all the best in his new role with the Philadelphia Eagles,” says Eskimos General Manager and Vice President of Football Ops. Brock Sunderland.
Walch joined the Eskimos in 2016 where he was named the receivers/pass game coordinator before he was promoted to offensive coordinator and receivers coach in 2017.
Walch was an All-American, all-region and all-conference running back, receiver and return specialist for Winona State University from 1996 to 1999. In his final season, he was named a regional finalist for the Harlon Hill Award earned by the top player in Division II football.
He then transitioned into coaching at his alma mater where he would spend three seasons serving as student coach, wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator.
From 2003 to 2005, he was the offensive coordinator at Dakota State University, while working with the quarterbacks and receivers. The following season, he served as special teams coordinator and running backs coach at the University of St. Thomas. Walch returned to Winona State from 2007 to 2009, serving as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator during his final two seasons.
In 2010, he joined the Montreal Alouettes as an offensive assistant. That year, they won the Grey Cup championship. After two seasons, he was named the Alouettes’ wide receivers coach.
Walch returned south to work with the Chicago Bears from 2013 to 2014 as an offensive quality control coach.
In 2015, he was an offensive consultant for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers.
