How to turn a 27 point win into an almost disaster
By FCOadmin. Posted in General | 6 Comments »1. Fall for a trick play
2. Throw the easiest pick 6 in recent memory.
3. Get a personal foul penalty for tackling the QB out of bounds when you have them stopped on third down.
4. On a missed field goal get an offsides penalty.
5. Miss two makable field goals.
OK. Anybody can fall for a trick play. I’ll give you that one. But the rest of that garbage cost us 16 points. Those are types of plays that are the difference between winning easily or winning a nail biter. Or winning a nail biter against a good team and losing. To be a contender, you have to keep those mistakes to a minimum. To be a champion, you have to elimimate them. Next week we play a team, Southern Miss, that we must beat to get to the C-USA Championship game. It’s a tough road game that UCF will need to play mistake free football to win. From the truckload of mistakes I saw yesterday, that will take a monumental effort.

I can’t give you the trick play because a well coached DB knows to stay at home. In the defense they called he has 1 job.. deep as the deepest. In this particular case, the deepest was the WIDE open receiver running by him. I did see something that surprised me. They tried to run the option twice…. with a QB that has no business running the option. That would have been a great play call last year with Greco at the helm. I’m happy O’leary is 1 step closer to being gone… I’m sad that it’s going to be another LOOOOONG UCF football season.

Interesting fact: Calabrese played HS football in Islip, NY. Anyone know where GOL’s is from? Islip, NY. In fact, GOL got his start coaching HS in Islip. You’re telling me that out of ALL the potential QB’s to recruit in Florida, in the COUNTRY, GOL coincidentally gave scholarships to Mike Tice’s kid (hired him to Vikings after ND debacle) and someone from his hometown in the same year??? The Tice kid left, but GOL is overly stubborn with sticking with Calabrese…why???? Something stinks here, I can’t believe no one has called him out on this.

Ho hum, another year with the bum! We weren’t ready to play Samford how are we going to stand up against C-USA, Miami and Texas? This guys a joke. We’ve given him everything he’s asked for: a huge salary, an indoor practice facility, a new stadium, state of the art weight facility and we look worse than we did when we played in Div II!

We need to start a petition or something. This is embarrassing. There is no reason why UCF cannot be a football powerhouse.
GET RID OF O’LEARY!!

How about Buffalo? A few years ago they were considered the worst team in FBS. I actually sent in an application for their head coaching position, I figured I could go 0-12 and do it for less money. Now I don’t see us beating them. How pathetic is that?
The petition idea is a good one. I would be glad to promote it. Also check out our shop. If hundreds of fireoleary shirts and hats start getting spotted around town and at football gamesm the administration will notice. They are watching what goes on here. I’ve got a letter from their attorneys in Atlanta to prove it.The bigger this site gets, the hotter GOL’s seat gets.

Great site! Thanks for giving UCF fans the opportunity to vent about Coach O’Leary. I gave O’Leary a pass last season, but there is no excuse this season, especially after this comment after the Samford game:
“I still think it’s Calabrese’s team…” Coach O’Leary, did you watch the game? I’m no coach, but it certainly looked like Hodges had superior leadership of the offense.
We can run down a list of lousy performance by the players and horrendous coaching. Watching the Blue Darters is more exciting. At least they have a kicker… And they won’t ask me to increase my donation.
