Walch was an All-American, all-region and all-conference running back, receiver and return specialist for Winona State University from 1996 to 1999. He spent three seasons coaching at his alma mater as a student coach, wide receivers coach and passing game co-ordinator.

Walch worked as the offensive co-ordinator at Dakota State University from 2003 to 2005, and served the following season as special teams co-ordinator and running backs coach at the University of St. Thomas.

He joined the Montreal Alouettes as an offensive assistant in 2010 and won a Grey Cup championship. He was named the Alouettes' wide receivers coach after two seasons.
