One decade ago, the University of Central Florida football program was going nowhere. Coach George O’Leary was coming off his first season, an 0-11 effort, after inheriting a losing streak that would stretch to 20 games.
He had a plan.
But even O’Leary couldn’t have imagined this kind of long-term payoff.
With O’Leary beginning his 12th UCF season tonight against Florida International — there’s talk he could retire and focus on full-time duties as the school’s athletic director after the season — the Knights are an established winning program.
