Coach Welch completed his 7th season at Friends University and his 25th season over-all in college football.
The Falcon "D" has enjoyed a great deal of success, under his direction, which deservingly brought Coach Welch the K.C.A.C Assistant Coach of the Year award again in 2009.
For the 4th year in a row the Falcon Defensive unit finished #1 in the conference and is consistently recognized as one of the top rated Defenses in the country, the Falcons finished the 2009 season with the #2 ranked Defense in the N.A.I.A
"At our level, from the recruitment of the athletes to coaching the game itself and witnessing the success of our student athletes on and off the field is very gratifying for me personally".
Coach Welch has been part of 10 Championships, his fierce desire to achieve success and a wealth of knowledge has earned him a great deal of respect from not only the coaches in the K.C.A.C., but across the N.A.I.A as well.
Coach Welch has a son Monty, who will be a Senior for the Falcon this Fall.
