Fire Coach O'Leary

Donnie Jones Continues to Rack Up Big Wins

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:35:36 +0000

Maybe it’s easier to knock off the big teams in basketball than it is in football, I don’t know. But in two years (not even) Donnie Jones has more notches on his belt than O’Leary does in eight. Now like I said, maybe this is not a fair comparison. Basketball is a game of 5 [...]

St Pete Bowl Tonight

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:52:46 +0000

FIU who we lost to 17-10 vs. Marshall, who we beat 16-6. Two teams playing in a bowl that UCF should be better than. We already watched schools like La-Lafayette and Ohio win a bowl on Saturday. San Diego State, who the Big East took as a last resort when they added us, played in [...]

Godfrey is Leaving. The Perfect End to this Train Wreck of a Season

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 07:26:55 +0000

A year ago, Jeff Godfrey was the man. UCF was conference champions and Godfey was a freshman All American. We had three more seasons to look forward to of this exciting play maker at quarterback. And now? One year later, we are not going to a bowl game. UCF has suffered its fourth losing season [...]

Bowl Time… for Everyone Else

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:47:37 +0000

While watching Southern Miss ruin the season for Houston in the C-USA Championship Game last Saturday, I couldn’t help but think back to the stupid 2 point try in Hattiesburg. UCF was as good as Southern Miss. Yet Southern Miss is wearing the conference crown and going to Hawaii (what happened to the champ going [...]

Congrats on the Win Over UTEP

Sat, 26 Nov 2011 05:52:19 +0000

Nice way to end the season especially for the seniors playing their last home game. But, before we get all warm and fuzzy about ending on a positive note, remember that two C-USA Teams are getting ready to play a pretty big game next week, and neither of them is UCF. And that’s OK. Nobody [...]

So According to Hitt…

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 04:20:12 +0000

We can’t fire O’Leary because we have no AD? So we have to have an AD to hire a new coach? Really? Who’s hiring the AD then? If you can hire an AD why can’t you hire a new coach? You do know that President Bernie Machen hired Urban Meyer right? Just for the record, [...]

College football (and basketball) is all about the coach

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 16:08:16 +0000

I know. The players play the game right? It’s not the coach out there missing tackles, jumping off sides, dropping passes, fumbling the ball, and committing penalties. But here is the truth. Like it or not. College sports teams are ALL about the coach. Ask a Kentucky basketball fan what the difference in their team [...]

Season over. Another one Down the Drain.

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:02:51 +0000

What is it going to take people? Here are the numbers: 4-7: That is our record this season. 49-51: That is our record under O’Leary 4 of 8: That’s how many losing seasons we’ve had under O’Leary 6 of 7: That’s how many losses this year by 7 points or fewer. 2: that’s how many [...]

Time to look ahead to ECU

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 06:32:46 +0000

This week the Knights travel to East Carolina. Both teams sit at 4-6. The winner remains in the hunt for bowl eligibility. The loser is eliminated and staring straight at a dismal 4-8 season. Both of these programs should be beyond 4-8 seasons. Looking at the ECU scores, So Miss beat them by 20 and [...]

Why was going for two the wrong call?

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 17:11:19 +0000

So many reasons…so little time. OK maybe we have lots of time. OK here goes. 1994: Doak Campbell Stadium. Florida vs. Florida State Florida once led this one 31-3. In the fourth quarter FSU mounts a furious comeback to close the game to 31-24. Late in the game they score another TD to make it [...]

Just When You Thought O’Leary Can’t Get Any Dumber…

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 05:03:01 +0000

He pulls off THE DUMBEST move of his UCF coaching career. STUPID decision to go for two there. For those of you who will say “wait a minute, he made a gutsy move to try and win the game right there”, stop right there. This is not 1984 Orange Bowl where there was no overtime [...]

So the Crap has Hitt the Fans…Pun Intended

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:46:55 +0000

UCF is going on probation. Will it be football? Will it be basketball? Will it be both? We’ll find out soon enough. Heads have already rolled over this. A.D Keith Tribble and assistant football coach Kelly are gone. Head basketball coach Donnie Jones is suspended without pay for the first three C-USA games. So far [...]

Game #99

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 04:31:59 +0000

UCF is at top 25 Southern Miss on Saturday. It will decide which O’Leary gets to first, 50 wins or 50 losses. Now at some places a .500 record is pretty good. Georgia Tech may even be one of them. But UCF should not be. Remember when O’Leary was first introduced as UCF’s new coach. [...]

For the newbies

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:51:07 +0000

With every loss for the Knights we get new folks to the site. So for you noobs, let me say to you this is not a “I hate O’Leary” site. This is a “we can do better” site. What we are saying here is “Luv ya, Coach. Thanks for getting us the new digs and [...]

Let’s Get Serious People

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 04:00:17 +0000

There are almost 56,000 students at UCF. There are over 49,000 people who have “liked” the UCF Nation page on face book. And only 465 people have “liked” the fire O’Leary page on face book? I cannot believe there are only 465 people that think this coach has had enough time to get this program [...]

That seals it

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 03:14:15 +0000

Forget about a bowl game this year. Eight seasons. Four losing ones. 49-49. Can it get more mediocre than that? Let’s talk about this game. Tulsa made all the money plays. Money plays are 3rd down and fourth down. They kicked our team’s ass on those plays. We couldn’t tackle them.We couldn’t block them. It [...]

Thursday Night Football This Week

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:56:36 +0000

UCF will host Tulsa this week on Thursday Night. The game will be televised by CBS and will air on the CBS College Sports Channel. ESPN will be televising Boston College at Florida State and a MAC game on ESPNU between Akron and Miami (Ohio). The BC FSU game will likely be a blowout. And [...]

Great Job Today

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 00:02:42 +0000

But let’s not be fooled. It’s Memphis. 41-0 is what we SHOULD be doing to Memphis. It’s also what we SHOULD be doing to FIU, UAB, BYU (well maybe not 41-0 but we should’ve beaten them). This team with its talent should be no worse than 7-1 right now. Hate to sound like I’m throwing [...]

Happy Homecoming People!

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:46:38 +0000

So far, since the UAB fiasco, the fireoleary site and facebook page has gained moderate support. Of course it has gotten nothing close to what would make O’Leary even sweat it. If we lost to Memphis this week, that may change. But make no mistake about this, I am not rooting for UCF to lose. [...]

For UCF, the Hits Keep Coming

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 15:11:35 +0000

Not only did the Knights lose to UAB, a team that was 0-6 coming in, but two days later they had to watch Houston blow out Marshall and put themselves on the verge of cracking the Top 10 as they went to 7-0, a place UCF had hopes of being at this point when the [...]
