The University of Central Florida 2015 football season has disappointed many Knight fans.
One fan in particular, the twitter popular UCF Problems, started a petition aimed at UCF president John C. Hitt to fire head football coach George O’Leary.
“George has done a lot of great things for UCF’s football program but it’s time for him to go,” the petition states.
The creator of UCF Problems commented on the reason he changed his stance on O’Leary even though he once defended O’Leary.
“I defended him after one loss. That was before we lost to Furman, before we got spanked by 1-2 Tulane. There’s no consistency, the players look flat, nobody looks motivated,” he responded.
He also commented that, “George looks apathetic at all times, and I’ve heard from multiple sources that our recruiting is absolutely terrible this year too. Recruits coming on UCF visits have been quoted saying we showed no hospitality and ignored them.”
Regarding the impact he thinks his petition will have, UCF Problems said, “I don’t think my petition will have any direct impact but it doesn’t hurt. When your head coach is athletic [director] also, there’s not much you can do.”
The twitter user behind UCF Problems is not the only individual who thinks O’Leary should be fired. Many fans have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #FireOLeary.
This is the worst UCF team I have ever seen. #fireoleary #ucf
