RCITYHOO 110 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 George Welsh passed today and will be missed by all UVA football fans forever. Can' talk Wahoo football without him and IMO he could have been 1 of the best coaches ever, considering what he did at Navy and UVA.

He was a very classy gentleman! Rest in peace, sir! GMan and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Outstanding coach who earned widespread respect, including that of this Hokie fan. May he rest in peace. Deleted Account and GMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I’ve been amazed at the outpouring of Hokie condolences over George Welsh’s passing. George did something at Virginia that hadn’t been done in 30 years: turn Virginia into not only a winner, but a unique program. May he Rest In Peace. sixcat and Liam McPoyle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP coach Welsh...no matter if you are a Hokie or Hoo you never want to see this...he was a good coach and seemed like a good guy as well. Lived a long life...85 years is a long time. Prayers to his family and friends from this Hokie Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 George Welsh took Cavalier football from laughingstock to a number #1 ranking and national credibility. UVA was a basketball school in a basketball conference, which featured a single football power (much like today). In what I think was UVA's greatest win, Welsh and the Hoos shocked the nation with a win over an insanely talented Florida State team in '95.
