SURROUNDING JACK WELCH'S SUDDEN RETIREMENT FROM
COPPERAS COVE....
JESSICA MORREY WAS
FIRST TO SIT DOWN
WITH COACH WELCH,
AND DISCUSS THE
80-THOUSAND DOLLAR
BUYOUT HE RECEIVED
FROM COPPERAS
COVE, PLUS THE
BULLDOG LOGO THAT
HE OWNS THE RIGHTS
TO....
LETS TALK ABOUT THE
RUMORS....ARE THERE
ANY TRUTH TO THIS
AND WHY DO THEY
KEEP COMING UP?
"YOU CAN'T
DISPELL EVERY
RUMOR....AND THE
END RESULT IS I
DON'T THINK YOU
DON'T GET THOSE
KIND OF THINGS IF
BAD THINGS
WERE HAPPENING
....MY LOVE GOES
OUT TO THEM, MY
HEART GOES OUT
TO THEM BUT I
TRUELY
BELIEVE....AND
TRUELY BELIEVE....AND THEN KNOWING
THAT YOU ARE
GOING
GOING TO
GOING TO STAY ABOUT A YEAR, WHY WOULD YOU
DO THAT?" OF THE
RETIREMENT
PROCESS OR
WOULD YOU
THINK YOU COULD
OF DONE
OF DONE
SOMETHING
SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY? "I LOVE COPPERAS
COVE ....YOU
NEVER WANT TO
HAVE A
RUMOR....IT GOES
WITH THE
TERRITORY...BUT I
HAVE RESIGNED
AT OTHER PLACES
THERE'S ALWAYS
GOT TO BE A
REASON, IT'S
NEVER THE REAL
REASON AND THE
BOTTOM LINE IS
I'M NOT A
YOUNG....AT ONE
TIME.
I'M NOT THE
YOUNGEST
COACH IN TEXAS
HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL NOW
BUT ON THE
OTHER HAND....
THERE'S MORE
DAYS A COMING."
