Public perception kills UCF

[Victorywayucf]

George O'Leary is a killer. George O'Leary is a racist.

Atleast that's how it's played out in the public. Even after we won the fiesta bowl, a search of stories was not about the kids that succeeded, but instead about how George O'Leary had wormed his way into winning. He's widely regarded as not being a good person and actually a raging asshole. Now this perception has hurt UCF. Instead of UCF building on its momentum it has struggled and that can be attributed to the fact that the media and opposing coaches have drilled it into recruits and the publics head that O'Leary is this monster. That damage has finally seeped in and as we can see this year has ruined the program. It's time to get rid of him and flush the system.

Why did you go there? Seriously?! You think this "helps your cause"? This is the type of irresponsible rhetoric that makes us all look bad.

Focus on the field, the results there, and make your case. No need to pull this crap. Period.

What crap, the fact that this is how the public perceives O'Leary? Cause if you think people respect George outside of the UCF program then I have some bad news for you. I can go find you numerous writers, fans, etc that have said that this is how George is perceived. You really think the whole George O Leary resume meme came from nowhere?

You can also find a lot of perception and press that ignores it too, and focuses on the results. So why can't we? Why do we have to have some who constantly want to bring attention to UCF -- not GoL, but UCF -- in all those ways?

Because that's what you're doing.

You're stupidly assuming your statements have nothing to do with UCF, if we fire GoL. I've avoided pointing that out prior, because I shouldn't have to. You should realize what you say reflects negatively on UCF, regardless if GoL is no longer here.

That's why you don't do it, period.

It pisses me off, and a lot of true UCF fans off, to no end. There's nothing that compares to anything you allege we do, to what you pull with that childish ranting non-sense. It's the logic of an 8 year-old logic that makes you think you're actually insulting GoL, Key, etc... and it has nothing to do with UCF, especially if we fire them. Wrong!

Stop being serious a-holes that make us all look bad ... focus on the results and complain there.

You really are an idiot. Do you not realize that with George O'Leary as the face of the program that people have gone to bashing the program because they hate anything associated with O'Leary? Cause if you haven't then maybe you should stop jerking off to O'Leaey photos and wake up.

Sometimes you just write something that sums up exactly what is wrong with how people approach the world. It's funny, almost sad, because it explains everything about you too.

Call me all the names you want, insult me how you will, say I'm the worst of annoyances too. But I refuse to let my life be someone who goes to the depths several of you have here ... from the coaches families to even the players at times to things I won't revisit.

There is trolling.
And then there's what you guys do.

Oh, I'll comp him a few. Dodd and a few others, for starters.

But what he fails to realize is that they are a minority in the profession. Because when they find it in their hearts to go around and purposely hate, despise and otherwise want to destroy the name of someone and, worse yet, anyone they associate with ...

It says everything about them, not their target.

Said the guy who was a big enough idiot to call us Isis not realizing that Isis had killed a UCF grad.

You need to go hug someplace else.

I haven't bothered to find articles for or against O'Leary, but whenever you watch any NFL game with a UCF grad in it you can't get away from the positive comments about O'Leary. The most negative thing they say about him is he is no nonsense. So no, the negative is not the public's opinion of him, it's a few people's opinion of him. That being said it's time for him to go.

 

[Poolside Knight]

It's true Bianchi might be the only college football writer(if he counts) that likes O'leary.

Every big time national CFB writer dislikes him and can't wait to write hit pieces on him.

The only time they talk good about him is when they are obligated to during games

Probably because he doesn't kiss their @ss. Who cares what they think anyways. You win...it doesn't matter what the pundits think. Last time I checked you make your own path in life, and what some mouthpiece thinks is irrelevant.
If and when expansion occurs due diligence and vetting will be performed and what some sports writers' opinion of any coach is, isn't going to matter at all.

Maybe we need a coach that does. Good press is good.

and that attitude is why he sucks at Recruiting also.

This is not the NFL. Perception is Everything in College Football, the media liking a coach is another way to promote the program, help recruiting, etc

You'd be surprised how many parents don't want kiss ass coaches, as they think they are fake.

There are many people in the media who like GoL. Too many people just focus on the negative ones ... because that sells.

Outside of the biggest idiot in sports media, Hi Bianchi, who else?

Too. Much. Baggage.
