New Mexico State coach could leave for NFL job

Dewayne Walker will reportedly leave New Mexico State for an assistant job in the NFL, according to Bruce Feldman of CBS Sports.

There had been earlier reports via @FootballScoop that a non-BCS head coach would be leaving the college ranks for a job in the pros. It appears that coach is Walker, the 52-year-old coach of the Aggies. Feldman reported that offensive coordinator Doug Martin would likely take over for Walker.

Walker hasn’t done a great job with New Mexico State, who have a 10-40 record under him and have never won more than four games in a season, never having a winning year - although to be fair, they haven’t had a winning year since 2002. This past year, the Aggies went 1-11, as well as 0-6 in conference. Walker has NFL experience - he served seven years for the New England Patriots, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins between 1998 and 2005 - but its not clear who he’ll coach for in the NFL. <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?embedCode=ZsMTRpODpF6_qMCpTSVe5-EHESMFh0qf&height=360&videoPcode=NjbnY6cqXQpbxFYNiGvAWdDbaOEM&width=640"></script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="ooyalaPlayer_11359425_1358466725" width="640" height="360" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab"><param name="movie" value="http://player.ooyala.com/player.swf?embedCode=ZsMTRpODpF6_qMCpTSVe5-EHESMFh0qf&version=2" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="embedType=noscriptObjectTag&embedCode=ZsMTRpODpF6_qMCpTSVe5-EHESMFh0qf&videoPcode=NjbnY6cqXQpbxFYNiGvAWdDbaOEM" /><embed src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.swf?embedCode=ZsMTRpODpF6_qMCpTSVe5-EHESMFh0qf&version=2" bgcolor="#000000" width="640" height="360" name="ooyalaPlayer_11359425_1358466725" align="middle" play="false" loop="false" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="embedCode=ZsMTRpODpF6_qMCpTSVe5-EHESMFh0qf&videoPcode=NjbnY6cqXQpbxFYNiGvAWdDbaOEM" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object></noscript>
