Coaching History

Washington State University

Walden was the head coach at Washington State in 86, where he compiled a 44-52-4 record (.460). In his fourth season, he coached the 1981 Cougars to the Holiday Bowl, the school's first bowl appearance in 51 years [http://cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/washington_state/bowl_history.php] , and was selected as the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. In 1985, his WSU team won their third Apple Cup in four seasons, accomplished only two other times (in 1954 and 2007). (WSU has never won three consecutive Apple Cups.) [ [http://cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/washington_state/opponents_records.php?teamid=3421 Washington State Game by Game against Opponents ] ]

Prior to the 1985 Apple Cup, in which the Washington Huskies were favored, Husky coach Don James jovially contrasted himself to Walden by quipping, "I'm a 2,000 word underdog."

Iowa State University

Following a 3-7-1 season in 1986 season, Walden left WSU to become the 28th head coach for the Iowa State, where he compiled a 28-57-3 (.335) record from 94. His best record with the Cyclones was 6-5 in 1989, and his final team in 1994 went a winless 0-10-1. This ranks him sixth at Iowa state in total wins and 22nd at Iowa state in winning percentage.

Since retiring from Iowa State, Walden served as a radio color commentator, first for the Iowa Barnstormers of Arena Football and later for Washington State football. He still hosts a Sunday evening radio show in Iowa on WHO called "Two Guys Named Jim." In the final regular season Harris Interactive Poll in 2006, he was the only voter to have Florida at #1; the other 112 #1 votes went to Ohio State. In the BCS National Championship Game on January 8, 2007, Florida handily defeated Ohio State 41-14.
