Legendary coach Jim Walden, who shaped college football at Washington State and Iowa State, passed away at 88, leaving behind a legacy forged on the gridiron and in the classroom. From his CFL playing days with the BC Lions and Edmonton to his high school coaching roots and stints under Bob Devaney at Nebraska, Walden’s journey was defined by grit, mentorship, and a deep love for the game. His 1981 Holiday Bowl run with Washington State and nine seasons at Iowa State cemented his impact, while his post-coaching radio voice kept him connected to the sport he cherished. Players and fans alike remember him not just for wins, but for the lasting influence he had on lives—making him more than a coach, but a true football family man.
