UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA

George O’Leary has stepped down as the interim athletic director at Central Florida. “Right now, I want to coach football and, again, I looked at the AD thing and put my time into it, but it’s not something that basically I’m gonna have a real interest in and that’s why I made that decision,” O’Leary said Monday. “And again, I’ll say it, it was my decision alone in making that, and I’m fulfilling the contract in doing that.” The school announced it has hired a national search agency to fill the athletics director position while O’Leary focuses on mentoring the football team. Grant Heston, UCF vice president for communications and marketing, will oversee the search and athletics department operations for the university. Brad Stricklin, executive senior associate athletics director, will serve as interim athletics director. -Shannon Green, Orlando Sentinel, Read More
