All I can think of is if the scoundrel is announcing this now, it's because he fears something appearing later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't ever call turning down UAB stability. UAB is maybe the one of 3-4 programs worse off than USF right now, no crap he'd stay but doesn't mean he'd not jump to a Houston or somwthing else given the chance.

Apparently he's not announcing anything right now, or in Ireland, and doesn't know where the story came from ..... for whatever that's worth. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jeremy-fowler/24655382/ucfs-george-oleary-addresses-retirement-report-succession-plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the people talking about what he build UCF into would have been screaming for his firing early in his tenure there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rescinded one job for false résumé information. We fired one coach for slapping a player. GoL lied on his résumé an killed a player. He wouldn't have lasted at USF. And all of those years he was there his program that he built lost to USF until we were in our worst point in program history due to Holtz.

Technically, O'Liar lying on his resume is the reason he got the UCF job. Kind of shows what that program is willing to accept... ...Never mind that he got a raise after killing a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should talk about the moral compass of certain newly hired BB assistant that was recently hired by USF, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
