I can assure you time, energy, and money have been spent looking into this and that this move is a calculated one. Like another poster just said, these next 6 months will likely be O'Leary's job interview to see if it is a fit. Only time will tell if it is a good move or not. O'Leary certainly has experience working within athletic departments and might I say runs a pretty nice football program for us. Will that translate into him becoming a good Athletic Director? Again, time will tell. Historically, similar situations have shown successes and failures.

I think it's a great experiment. Could be terrible, could be genius. I will say, UCF football as a program, in the media, on the field, in the classroom is a stark difference from what he inherited. If he can bring a fraction of that to other sports, it's a win.
