One thing I do like is this year’s class is pretty local. Not to much of the northeastern guys he usually goes after. Maybe we are having an impact? NAH!

Have you guys heard the “Jabba The Hut” audio on this year’s recruiting class on Rivals.com (UCF Athletics)?
According to the Fat F!@# (in reference to a question about Jonathan Davis; our version of Zach Thomas (an undersized LB)),
“I don’t get overly concerned with 40 speed. I think you gotta be able to run at this level to win. There’s a lot of kids that can run, but they don’t hit you.”
Isn’t that your job you Fat F!@#!!!!! …to coach up these kids and make them a better football player. You do coordinate in your schedule contact drills? You do hold practice for the defense? This is the reason why you have a coaching staff consisting of multiple position coaches. That way…you don’t have the task of micromanaging and having to be inundated with the task of teaching/coaching all 70+ athletes on the football team. And about the 40 speed, are you f!@#ing kidding me?! You don’t coach up the kids in tackling…I’m sure you’ll coach them up in “speed”. Speed is the first thing that comes into my mind when it comes to coaching up kids. You’re retarded, O’Leary.
The Fat F!@# continues to talk about “contact speed”. What the f!@# is he talking about?! This dude is from another planet and I believe his momma is definately an astronaut. …continuing with his quotes…
“It’s like even in the pros…you have a lot of guys that can run 4.5 but can’t hit you at 5 flat. You can’t win with those guys. I think contact speed is critical and I think Jonathan Davis is a contact player. He can do a lot of things…”
Really?! Not a lot big hits in the NFL?! And what about the multiple fines the NFL “shells out” to players who’ve done legal hits that have occurred in the past two years? Have you been watching the NFL recently? You do know Anquan Bolding got knocked the f!@# out this season. It was so bad…he obtained multiple facial fractures. And last time I checked, the NFL players wear helmets at all time on the field. So, Mr. O’Leary, what the f!@# are you talking about?!
You’re an idiot and to have these reporters respect you in the form of the questions that they ask (which is pretty “vanilla”) is pathetic. Man up, you Fat F!@# and take responsibility. Quit “hand-picking” the questions that are asked and answer some real ones for a change.
Here’s one question for a change, “When the f!@# are you going to update the offense?!” Last time I checked, the 50’s era is over. How about opening up the playbook and utilize the whole field? There’s a new position in football that has changed the game (collegiately and professionally); it’s called a receiving TE. You should try to utilize/recruit some.
And that “new” position is already old. Let me give you insight to the new position affecting the game of football…the massive WR (i.e. 6′5″, 230 to 240lbs athlete that runs 4.4 to 4.5). Try looking into that next time you start researching/looking for recruits. I’d start looking at those athletes that play football and basketball.
We (UCF fans) have an Idiot in command of this football program.
When the f!@# is the next “Change of Command” at this “squadron”?

Well, I know what he’s trying to say there. He’s trying to make the case that too many people get caught up in how fast a guy is, how he does in the weight room, how he looks in doing combime type drills. Those do not make you a football player. Football players have an expression. “Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane”. There are fast guys at WR that can’t catch. There a big guys at LB who don’t hit. These are things that don’t show up on rivals.com
Speaking of rivals. Right now we are at #66. We have three guys that are committed but unsigned, two of them are 3 star players. When those guys sign it will move us up a bit. USF is listed at #30. I doubt they will move us up that far. But like I said, this class is loaded with players from Florida and Georgia. I love that. O’Leary has spent way too much time in the past recruiting New York and the northeast. If those players were any good, Syracuse would be a powerhouse.

I understand what you’re saying. My point is that most of these kids are unpolished gems; the ones that UCF usually land year after year. The few that are able to do all these things at a higher level (as a football player) are usually in the “5-star” category. Last time any of us checked, UCF never had a blue chip recruit walking thru the campus as a UCF football player.
So, where do we go from here? The kids that the UCF football program signs need to be coached up. You can’t really expect a H.S. football coach to teach them the trade. Otherwise, that H.S. coach wouldn’t be commanding a team at that level of competition.
You’re not always gonna have an incoming student athlete that does everything right on the field (according to their football position). That’s where the majority of the responsibility goes to O’Leary and the coaching staff. I think he’s using that comment (about athletes pretending to be football players) as a scapegoat. Have you ever noticed/heard or had an indication that he’s been wrong during his tenure at UCF? We’ve noticed a lot of things that he’s done wrong. Don’t even get me started on that.
I remember the times when Kruczek was head coach at UCF. Did we ever have a shitty QB during his reign as a QB coach/head coach? Do you know why? ‘Cause he coached the position. In fact, he knew how to play the position (former All-American at BC in the ’70s).
What’s O’Leary’s on-the-field experience? …questionable at best. Integrity is not one of his strongest suits; just ask Notre Dame. I believe he’s never stepped up onto the field of a legit competitive football league. And I understand not all coaches go through the “former football player” route. I know there are some brilliant minds (head coaches/offensive coordinator/defensive coordinators) that have done well in the past and recently. My case in point is O’Leary has none of these factors. He’s an overweight, arrogant, over-paid, feeble-minded, lying imposter. I believe his time is done (as far as football career goes; he should go into exile in the Dominican Republic). His best years were at Georgia Tech when GT had program prestige. It’s easy to rebuild a football team back in the 90’s…GT was one of the hottest programs in the country. And O’Leary inherited that. He still hangs on to the two accolades of “ACC Head Coach of the Year” back in the ‘98 and 2000 as evidence of his “coaching expertise”. That s!@# was pure luck and last time I checked the ACC wasn’t a tough conference back in that era.
O’Leary is not a coach and never has been. He’s a manager (at best). He’s a puppet-figure and the sad part of all of this is that there’s nobody behind the scenes pulling the strings. Any clown can fill O’Leary’s position (with the same results) at a third of the price.
In poker terms (Texas Hold ‘Em), O’Leary was never a good starting hand (2 7 offsuit). And UCF needs to fold and cut their losses. Buy out his contract and infuse this program with a new coach…any coach. Just make sure he’s had experience in the game of football; that route is always a safer bet.
…conclusion…
Don’t fall into that trap of what O’Leary said about football prospects. It’s his job to coach/teach, determine, research and make sound decisions as head coach/recruiter. And, if he thinks that speed is not important in this game, he’s utterly wrong. There’s a reason why most collegiate programs dip their fingers in South Florida. And that’s one factor…speed. It’s your responsibility (as a coach) to grab that unpolished gem and start working on it. Some are easy to cut and some take time to craft that jewel. Some of these jewels might turn out to be duds…some might turn out to be semi-precious stones…but there’s those few that fall into precious stones category. How do you think Rutgers turned their program around? What about USF? How about FAU and their huge recruiting budget? And that’s just a few programs…I can go all day naming other programs heavily affiliated with South Florida.
O’Leary can deny the “speed” theory all that he wants. But the evidence is in front of us. I do believe UCF has fast kids in this team. But O’Leary’s holding back their physical attributes by way of his game planning/theory. Unless he admits and embraces the “speed” theory works, UCF will not progress as a football program.

I think the recruiting is fine this year as well as the past 2-3 years. Its the coaching staff that doesn’t know what to do with these kids when they get on campus. GOL is a RUN, RUN, Incomplete Pass, PUNT type of a coach. Until there is a change in coaching or philosophy, UCF will struggle on offense. Good teams know how to stop the run.
