Something similar happened at Ga Tech several years ago when a man was hired as head football coach (George Leary?) and before he began it was discovered that he lied on his resume and he was terminated. Is my memory right about this?

He left Ga Tech for ND.

No he was hired at ND they found out he forged his resume and fired him a few days later. Then later on he got hired at GT.

OLeary left Ga Tech for ND. Before long it was discovered he lied on his resume that he never changed after he got the Ga job. He then went to the NFL to the Vikings and now at UCF.

But this also happened to Alabama after they hired Mike Price who never coached a game for the Tide.

At least they get rid of him before they realize that he wasn't a good hire for actions on the field!

Found this info concerning O'Leary on Wikipedia. I know it isn't always the most accurate but I believe this info is pretty close anyway.



In 2001, O'Leary left Georgia Tech to take over as the head coach for the University of Notre Dame. A few days after he was hired, inaccuracies were discovered on his resume. On the resume, O'Leary claimed that he had earned a master's degree from "NYU-Stony Brook University," a non-existent institution and actually two separate institutions over 50 miles apart.[8] In fact, he had taken only two courses at NYU, and never graduated.[9] He also claimed that he had earned three letters in football at the University of New Hampshire, when the school claimed he had not even played in one game.

Notre Dame initially supported O'Leary when the discrepancies concerning his athletic career at New Hampshire came to light, as O'Leary assured the school that there was nothing else they needed to know. When further background checks found that O'Leary had falsified his academic credentials as well, the school asked for his resignation on December 13, 2001.

O'Leary said in a statement released that day, "Due to a selfish and thoughtless act many years ago, I have personally embarrassed Notre Dame, its alumni and fans."[10]

O'Leary blamed the inaccuracies on "resume padding" that had followed him through his career, admitting: "In seeking employment I prepared a resume that contained inaccuracies regarding my completion of course work for a master's degree and also my level of participation in football at my alma mater. These misstatements were never stricken from my resume or biographical sketch in later years."

I read somewhere that Mike Lombardi from the NFL Network reported that Marvin Lewis is a candidate for the Pitt job.

My bad. You're right.
