The Facts:
In a move that has been rumored since he replaced Norv Turner as head coach, Art Shell has hired Tom Walsh to oversee an offense that, despite having plenty of potential playmakers, statistically ranked No. 21 in the league in 2005. The Raiders retained QBs coach John Shoop, who figures to have considerable input into the offensive design as well.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Walsh has not coached in the NFL since 1994, when he was fired, along with Shell, by the Raiders. That recent idleness aside, Shell has great faith in Walsh, who worked for the Raiders from 1982 to '94, coaching quarterbacks and receivers before being elevated to coordinator. Walsh most recently has operated a bed-and-breakfast ranch and served as mayor of Swan Valley, Idaho.
