UCF football icon George O'Leary hits the stage at the Mikey's to accept his award.

- Start date
Straight shooter, no sugar coating... I'm sure some are offended, but at least you know where the man stands. I was at that Fiesta Bowl... I lived the transformation from 0-12.
Unfortunately the initial handoff was not successful, but the foundation had been laid.
Props to the coach, hope he's enjoying retirement.

He would hate the new college landscape of transfer portal, NIL and individualism.
The look of a Man that just talked about NIL
All the greats from previous generations would hate the current game. Don’t sell enough socks? Just transfer out.
Very true, from winless to National Champions in 2 years showed how solid the foundation was he built. Compare that to usf, who have been bumping around 1-3 wins for years.
GOL looks like he is trying to remember where he is. He’s got to be pretty old at this point, he looks like he’s aged a lot since he was at UCF.
Been around since 1985, but seeing the picture all I could do is remember the glory days of Milton.
He can have what I paid, the joy from that first BCS bowl win is/was invaluable... Seeing quiet Baylor fans in Sedona the next day was priceless. A trip I'll never forget.
Imagine what he'd be like in 4 years, when he's 79*. 🤔
#PoliticalTroll ...I'll stop 😁👍
Best football trip I ever had. I’ve never seen a fanbase faster than their offense get the hell through the Phoenix airport and hightail it out of there. They were sooo condescending prior to that game
GOL should have retired on top
Yes x1000... Mine started with a flight into Vegas new years eve. Phoenix flights were stupid expensive... We figured, eh what the hell... Then Avis hooked us up with a caravan to drive to AZ, what a riot that entire trip was. 😂😂😂
I think he wanted to, but was coaxed into staying on as AD/coach?

True but the no win for the first 17 games and losing season on his way out was tough!
It had to be done....the first time to clear out the remnants of Kruz’s small time crap program and the second time to prep for the rise of a National Champion.
