Last week, a somewhat surprising college athletics succession story appeared on sports tickers everywhere, accompanied by relatively little national fanfare (at least relative to what we feel it merited). The University of Central Florida, without an athletic director since former incumbent Todd Stansbury opted for a future in Corvallis instead of Orlando, announced on Tuesday that it would postpone an immediate search/decision on its next athletic director and instead name current head football coach George O’Leary the interim AD. Further, sources tell CollegeAD.com that the university intends to delay any formal decision on the permanent occupant of the throne for at least six months, timing that dovetails almost perfectly with the conclusion of football season.
