Where are they now - George O'Leary

A story on O'Leary, his coaching philosophy and 2nd chance at UCF. Check out the O'Leary intimidation factor at work:

O'Leary, who has succeeded at every level in coaching, has brought an aura to UCF. It turns out he has brought an intimidation factor as well, something he found out during spring practice when he noticed one of his special-teams players shanking every punt.

O'Leary inquired about this -- well, he asked the poor soul if he was actually on scholarship -- and the player told him that he got nervous in his new coach's presence.

"Well, son," O'Leary told him, "I intend on being at all of the games."

Now, this article tries to claim that O'Leary's resume flap is long-forgotten. As much I as want to believe it, it just ain't true. Everything something comes up about a resume discrepancy, O'Leary gets top billing. Link here.

FORGOTTEN RESUME: First-year Central Florida coach George O'Leary said he believes most people have forgotten the artificially beefed-up resume that forced him to resign in December 2001 after one week as Notre Dame's coach.

``The only time I've ever heard it brought up is in the media,'' O'Leary said. ``I'm sure some people might point when I walk by, but I've gotten over it.''

O'Leary's resume claimed he had earned a master's in education and played three years of college football, but background checks showed neither was true, sparking a scandal that resulted in his resignation.

Meanwhile, the UCF media guide omits that week of employment at Notre Dame. In O'Leary's biography, the UCF guide skips from his tenure as Georgia Tech's head coach to his time on the Minnesota Vikings' staff.
