O’Leary Denies Report that He’s Stepping Down

You’ve got to love social media. In the age of Facebook and Twitter, we have instant access to news as it develops.

Unfortunately, social media can get things wrong.

Earlier today, reports surfaced that UCF head coach George O’Leary was going to step down at UCF this year.

Just over an hour later, the Orlando Sentinel contradicted this story.

Since the Sentinel report quoted O’Leary directly, it would appear that he’s not going anywhere for the time being. We at the Student Section will keep an eye on this story as it unfolds.
