George O'Leary at it again

If this doesn't get him fired, he's officially untouchable:

Yeah, I know lying on his resume cost him the Notre Dame job. But when you add this to the Ereck Plancher incident in 2008, it seems lying isn't nearly O'Leary's worst attribute.

 

I can't find a link but I believe there was a story of sorts before a Super Bowl (?) in which the underlying theme is that to be a great NFL QB you must have a great jawbone structure a la Tom Brady and many other examples.

 

On the other hand, it's tough to believe this is stuff that someone would make up out of whole cloth.

None of this was in Gary Smith's feature, that I can recall. None of the 50 people he talks to must have revealed this side of O'Leary.

 

Jimmy the Greek says hi.

 

I don't want to get into specifics but I have a friend that has coached with George. While he never mentioned anything racial what he did mention was not pretty to say the least.

 

There have been a few times in my life when I've been startled by racism. A few years out of college, when I was covering preps in my hometown, I saddled up to the bar after the Friday night lights next to my (drunk) former high school baseball coach. He was the AD at the school at that point, and a really stoic, tight-lipped guy. I think we were talking about Kenny Williams and the job he was doing with the White Sox early in his tenure. My coach says, matter-of-fact as can be, "People didn't like it, but I think that Al Campanis had it right. They just don't have the essentials to do that job."

 

Yeah, I'm not sure what's harder to believe; that someone would say/think that, or that someone would make up such a specific, false claim.

One of them is a despicable person. I'm just not sure which one it is. (And, I'm prepared to believe they both are.)

 

Had forgotten Smith had written one of his falsely glowing Hollywood productions about this POS.

 

Guy's a real life Bud Kilmer.

 

Appalling but not surprising. O'Leary grew up in an era / area that spawned many NYC
cops and firemen. Irish welfare at it's finest. It's how they talked and I'm not
sure they even realized how stupid it sounded. Think Archie Bunker.
