George Welsh (American Football)
George Welsh (August 26, 1933 – January 2, 2019) was an American college football player and coach. He served as head football coach of the Navy Midshipmen football team of the United States Naval Academy from 1973 to 1981, and the Virginia Cavaliers football team of the University of Virginia from 1982 to 2000. Welsh retired as the winningest coach in ACC history.

Upon Welsh's retirement after the 2000 season, his 189 career victories ranked him 24th in Division I-A history. Welsh was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 2004.
