Central Florida Knights head football coach George O’Leary would like to step down from his coaching duties at the end of this season and then become the university’s full-time athletic director, thus removing the “interim” status from his title as such. USA Today’s Dan Wolken reported O’Leary’s desire.
O’Leary was named interim AD in June after Todd Stansbury departed for Oregon State, and would like to become a full-time administrator as he is set to turn 70 next year. However, though UCF higher-ups are mulling the possibility of granting O’Leary’s request, Wolken reports that there are concerns.
