2012 Portland State Hall of Fame Induction: Tim Walsh '93-'06

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland State athletics department inducted six new members to its Hall of Fame last weekend and the Portland State media relations department will be releasing a series of six videos documenting the induction ceremony. 

This video features the induction of former PSU football head coach Tim Walsh. Walsh was the longest tenured and winningest football coach in Portland State history, coaching 14 seasons and compiling a 90-68 record. This despite having to lead PSU through the hard knocks of moving from Division II to Division I in the 90s. Walsh coached four NCAA playoff teams (1993, 1994, 1995 and 2000), including leading the Vikings to the Division I playoffs in just their fifth year at the higher level. For that effort, he was an Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year finalist in 2000. Walsh's teams had 10 winning seasons and he is one of just three PSU football coaches with career winning records. Walsh also led PSU to its only two wins over FBS level programs (Hawai'i 45-20, in 2000 and New Mexico, 17-6, in 2006).

Check back periodically to view videos from the rest of the 2012 Hallf of Fame class.
