Walker resigned from the Lions to pursue opportunities outside of the CFL. 2020 was set to be his first season in B.C., following head coach Rick Campbell to the West Coast after four years serving as an offensive assistant and running backs coach in Ottawa. Prior to the Redblacks, he spent seven years coaching at Oregon State University and had a one-year stint at the University of Nebraska.

The Cesar Chavez Champions play class 6A football, which is the highest level in the state. Walker leaves the CFL during the COVID-19 pandemic to coach high school football.
