The University of Central Florida will ask UCF football team coach George O’Leary and his staff to voluntarily make contracts public following the homecoming game, according to Local 6.
However, O’Leary has chosen to keep his contract out of the public eye, unlike other public Florida university football coaches. UCF is the only public university in Florida that does not release coaches’ contracts.
“My contract is my contract. And if asked, I won’t release my contract. That’s why it’s my contract,” O’Leary said during an interview with Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi.
The university made policy changes that will affect future sports contracts. In the future, when a sports coach is hired the coach can agree to waive the confidentiality of the contract and it would therefore be permitted to be released.
Local 6 reported that they previously repeatedly requested O’Leary’s contract and were denied several times.
